The CCFP also supplies child care providers in Kern County with tools and techniques to help them prepare nutritious, appealing meals.
Proper nutrition affects cognitive development and school performance.
It also reduces health risks from heart disease and some cancers. We need the leadership of educators, child care providers, parents and the local community, to support proper nutrition and assist our children in developing good eating habits. Assist in developing nutritionally sound menus. Distribute recipes to providers to assist in menu variety. Present Workshops on nutrition and related topics.
