Child Care Providers: Easier Fresh Food Preparation for Kids

This new law aims to remove barriers for child care providers, making it easier for them to prepare fresh fruits and vegetables. This means children will have access to healthier meals, and providers, especially home-based ones, will face fewer complex rules. This could help increase the availability of child care, particularly for low-income and rural families.
Key points
Child care facilities will be able to freely wash, peel, cut, and serve fresh fruits and vegetables without unnecessary restrictions.
The changes aim to improve children's nutrition and simplify operations for child care providers, especially those run from homes.
The act may help increase the number of available child care spots, which is important for families working non-traditional hours.
