Child Portion Guidelines

The West Virginia Department of Education's Office of Child Nutrition launched Leap of Taste - WV Child Care Nutrition Standards to empower parents and child care providers to play an important part in providing nutritious food and teaching children how to make healthy food choices. The standards ensure that child care centers comply with nutritious food guidelines for beverages, milk, fruits & vegetables, meats and meat alternates, and grains and breads. By sharing information with families, together we can create a culture that embraces what's best for our children.
