About the course

There are many myths around what it takes to be CACFP compliant, whereas the CACFP framework allows for accommodations for various kind of eaters, to support the division of responsibility that is at the core of responsive feeding. By the end of this module, you will be able to support your kids and your program through understanding which CACFP modifications require a medical statement and which can be supported with a parent note, and how to apply modifications and adaptations effectively to support both child participation in meals and program compliance .
