Child Nutrition

Go NAP SACC is based on a set of best practices that stem from the latest research and guidelines in the field. After completing  this  assessment,  you  will  be  able  to  see  your  program’s  strengths  and  areas  for  improvement, and use this information to plan healthy changes. For this self-assessment, child nutrition topics include foods  and  beverages  provided  to  children,  the  program’s  feeding environment, and teacher practices during meal times. Unless otherwise noted, all questions in this section relate  to  your  program’s  practices  for  both  toddlers  and  preschool  children.

Before you begin:

9 Gather menus, staff manuals, parent handbooks, and other documents that state your policies and guidelines about child nutrition.

9 Recruit the help of key teachers and staff members who are familiar with day-to-day practices.

As you assess:

9 Answer choices in parentheses ( ) are for half-day programs. Full-day programs should use answer choices without parentheses.

9 Definitions of key words are marked by asterisks (*).

9 Answer each question as best you can. If none of the answer choices seem quite right, just pick the closest fit. If the question refers to an age group you do not serve, move to the next question.

Understanding your results:

9 The answer choices in the right-hand column represent the best practice recommendations in this area. To interpret your results, compare your responses to these best practice recommendations. This will show you your strengths and the areas in which your program can improve.
