Smarter Mealtimes in Child Care 

In partnership with the National Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Association, the Smarter Mealtimes Movement National Office created the "Smarter Mealtimes for Child Care Settings Scorecard." The Scorecard extends the Smarter Lunchroom Movement principles to settings serving young children (ages 2 to 5), such as family child care homes, child care centers, and Head Start programs. It is a list of simple, no-cost or low-cost strategies that promote healthy choices in half or full day early care and education programs. Download the Scorecard and share it broadly with your early care and education partners
