Assignment: In the last topic, you explored the importance of following safety regulations. In addition to safety regulations, child care facilities must adhere to appropriate sanitary and nutritional practices. These guidelines are important for guests, colleagues, children, and their parents to understand and follow.

Before completing your field experience hours this week, research the food/nutritional requirements implemented by your state. Return to the child care facility from your prior field experiences and observe the facility during mealtime.
