Child care providers would be allowed to prepare fresh fruits and vegetables for kids.
This bill would stop states from blocking child care providers from doing simple food preparation, like washing and cutting fruits and vegetables. This means children in child care could get more fresh, healthy snacks. It could also help home-based child care options by reducing complicated rules.
Today, states that get federal child care grants can create rules that prevent child care providers from doing simple food preparation of fruits and vegetables. If this bill becomes law, these states would be prohibited from creating such barriers, allowing providers more freedom to prepare fresh produce.
