Leap of Taste: Child Care Nutrition Standards

West Virginia Department of Education Office of Child Nutrition; 2010.

The Leap of Taste campaign, launched in the summer of 2010, was designed to bring nutrition standards to life by empowering child care providers to play an important part in introducing children to healthy food. These nutrition standards are helping child care centers lay a healthy foundation for our children’s future success. The standards are divided into four key components: Beverages, Fruits and Vegetables, Grains and Bread, and Meat/Meat Alternates.
