Family Child Care Home Education Network

Even in sunny California temperatures are dropping for the season and parents and

child care providers need to be prepared. Children who were running around enjoying

the sun now need to be layered up. Good nutrition and hydration are needed to fight

off cold and flu season. Below are some tips for winter weather preparedness.

Staying Healthy.

Winter days often lead to hours of

indoor play. Children are more likely

to contract illnesses during the winter

months because they are in more

confined spaces. To stay healthy

during the winter good nutrition can help children fight

off cold and flu season, so strengthen their immune

system with a balanced diet. Snack time is a great

opportunity to sneak in some extra nutrients; try dried

and fresh fruits, sliced raw vegetables, whole-wheat

crackers, and yogurt. Keep them hydrated with water

and juices that are high in vitamin C. Teach proper

hand-washing techniques to kill germs and bacteria.

Heat your home safely. Make sure your home’s

heating equipment and smoke and carbon monoxide

detectors function properly. If you don’t have a car-

bon monoxide detector consider investing in one.

The risk of carbon monoxide poisoning increases dur-

ing the cold months due to the use of furnaces, heat-

ers, and fireplaces. Know the signs of carbon monox-

ide poisoning: headache, fatigue, dizziness, and

shortness of breath. If any of these symptoms occur,

get fresh air right away and contact a doctor for prop-

er diagnosis.

Thunderstorm Safety. During a thunderstorm

take the children inside. Do not use electric applianc-

es like televisions or phones; they can be dangerous

during a thunderstorm. Listen for weather

information on a battery-powered radio.

Have flashlights and plenty of batteries

available.

Umbrella Safety for Children. Children should

use a child size umbrella with a flat and/or plastic tip

for both safety and practical purposes.

Be clever about clothing choices. When dressing children

for the day, make sure they’re dressed warmly in layers that are

wind and waterproof. Dress the upper half of the baby or small

child in layers that are easy to take on and off. Start with a thin

cotton undershirt, then a long sleeve shirt, and finally a sweater

or sweatshirt. Dress them in clothes that are loose enough to

allow free movement. Dress the lower half in warm sweat pants and warm socks or

booties. For outdoors, make sure they have a waterproof coat with a hood that can

be tied snuggly and/or a beanie. (Much of the body's heat is lost through the head, so

keeping their head warm is important.) Monitor them for signs of discomfort. If they

look flushed and start acting fussy, it may be too hot, and so you should take off one

of the layers of clothing. When they are too cold, they will act more sleepy and slug-

gish. A good rule of thumb is to dress them as you would dress. If you feel too hot or

cold, they will feel the same way.

News & Reminders

Ongoing Virtual Monitoring We are currently completing virtual monitoring for all ac-

tive providers. Remember that when Food Program staff calls

to complete a virtual “visit”, it is very important for providers to

answer this “knock” or to return the call as soon as possible. All

the same monitoring requirements are in place except that the

visits are conducted virtually.

Claiming Own Children on the Food

Program Have you applied for your own children’s eligibility for the

Food Program but were not eligible? If your income situation

has changed, call our office so you may reapply. You may now

be eligible to claim meals served to resident children.

Questions about Taxes and Food

Program Reimbursement? The coming tax season will soon be here! We will be send-

ing out information to participating providers in the coming

weeks about how Food Program reimbursement affects taxes

so they can be informed before filing for 2020.

This article provides Child Care Food Program Operators with guidance for serving meals in child care settings during California's

Coronavirus (COVID– 19) response. It is based on guidance developed by the California Department of Social Services and the Califor-

nia Department of Education (CDE), as well as other COVID–19-related nutrition communications for CACFP operations.

Meal Service in Child Care Settings While physical distancing and enhanced hygiene practices can be challenging in early child care settings, every attempt

should be made to achieve these goals before, during, and after meal service. The following is a list of practices designed to

reduce the risk of COVID–19 transmission during CACFP meal service:

• Do not practice family-style meal service (FSMS), as serving utensils, bowls, and pitchers should not be handled by multiple children

• Hold meals outdoors, as weather and space allow

• Separate tables by at least six feet, if possible

• Separate children with separate tables, if possible

• When children must share a table, use name cards to ensure adequate spacing

• If there is not enough space for proper social distancing (at least six feet), take necessary measures to reduce risk (e.g., create

smaller mealtime groups and stagger mealtimes to reduce occupancy))

• Ask staff, not children, to handle table and place settings, the distribution of meals and beverages, and keep food covered

whenever possible to avoid contamination

• Ensure meals are provided in individual portions and

are delivered by staff wearing face masks

• Enforce proper handwashing for staff and children

before and after eating

• Use paper goods and disposable plastic utensils

• Do not allow children or staff to share or touch each

other's food

• Immediately clean and disinfect dishes, trays, chairs,

and tables after meals

Questions and Answers for Meal Service During COVID–19

Question 1—Can we still use FSMS at child care settings

during COVID–19?

CACFP Operators should not use FSMS during the

COVID–19 pandemic. In FSMS, children serve themselves

at a community table, passing bowls and utensils, while

adults remain nearby to assist and model. The risk for

exposure is heightened during this kind of meal service.

Instead, minimize exposure risk by using meal service

models that allow for optimal social distancing. Keep the

number of individuals contacting the food as low as

possible by preplating the meal and serving directly to

Vaccines Against Covid-19 for Child Care Providers

Child care providers are essential workers and are currently considered for vaccines against Covid-19 in Phase 1B of the allocation plan.

Giving vaccines to individuals in the early childhood workforce as soon as possible will allow front line workers to do their jobs, protect vulnerable children and their families, and aid our country’s speedy re-covery.

Four-fifths of child care programs – and especially licensed home-based child care programs – stayed open or reopened quickly after the pandemic hit to provide essential child care services for the frontline workers in health and other essential industries. Not only is the early childhood workforce membership on the frontlines of our collective response to the pandemic, it is also composed primarily of individuals at risk – women, women of color, and older citizens.

Without child care, families cannot work. Child care is a highly specialized field in which it is nearly impossi-ble to practice the protocols to keep the virus from spreading. Very young children cannot social distance, continuously hand wash, or control their environments.

The child care professionals who care for them – even with PPE – are hard pressed to fully protect them-selves while caring for children. Furthermore, many of the children being cared for live in families of essen-tial frontline workers who are at greater risk each day.

Check the California Department of Public Health Website to stay informed about the vaccine allocation process.

Webinar on SB 234 Now Available

The new Law for Family Child Care Homes SB 234 – Keeping Kids Close to Home Act webinar is now availa-ble. The webinar will help you learn how to support family child care homes, and how to work with cities, counties and landlords to ensure they follow SB 234. This new law:

• Eliminates local barriers, including zoning permits, business licenses, and fees, for family child care homes

• Ensures family child care providers can operate in rental properties

• Notifies family child care providers about the complaint process if their right to operate is denied

The Child Care Initiative Project (CCIP) hosted this webinar for R&R, APP, LPC, and CDSS Licensing Staff on October 28, 2020 and it was presented by the Child Care Law Center, and Public Counsel.

Child Care Law Center and Public Council encourage you to inform your cities and counties about SB 234 compliance and track what you learned here.

Food & Nutrition

• Persimmons originated in Chi-na over a thousand years ago. In 1870, grafted trees were in-troduced to the U.S.

• There are ancient references to persimmons as “food for the gods.” The persimmon is Japan’s national fruit and the art of hoshigaki—hand dried persimmons—is an integral part of traditional Japanese New Year’s celebrations.

• These fruits are astringent and non-astringent. Hachiya, the astringent variety, is deep or-ange, acorn-shaped and the pulp is used mostly in baking. The non-astringent Fuyu is light orange, pumpkin shaped and enjoyed raw.

• Ripe Hachiyas are very soft. Store at room temperature and use within a few days. Ripe Fuyus are firm and stay fresh up to three weeks at room tem-perature or longer in the refrig-erator.

• Add Hachiya persimmons to recipes like muffins and breads or try in a smoothie with yogurt and ice. Offer Fuyu persim-mons as a healthy snack, toss into salads or add to stir-fries.

• Persimmons are an excellent source of vitamin A and a good source of vitamin C and fiber.

the child who will eat it. Staff and children should be seated six feet apart, when space allows, and not close enough to contact

another person's food at a community table.

Question 2—What are the recommended meal service styles for the child care setting during the COVID–19 pandemic?

The CACFP regulations require that children must be allowed to serve themselves if a site is implementing

FSMS, with the exception of fluids. If fluids, such as milk, are served by the adult, the minimum serving size

must be provided. Since FSMS should not be implemented at this time, the only option is to serve preplated

meals. The site can plate the meal in the kitchen or tableside. Keep in mind that if the site plates the meals

tableside, then staff must serve all the food components in the minimum quantities specified in the meal

patterns. Staff are not permitted to serve components in lesser portions than specified in the meal patterns

to accommodate children's requests; however, conversations should be initiated at the table so children

understand that they can decide what and how much of each menu item they want to eat.

Question 3—How can we continue to serve healthy meals that meet CACFP guidelines during the COVID–19 pandemic?

Since children can no longer safely pass foods and pitchers of milk, child care centers and homes should preplate meal compo-

nents. Since children cannot choose how much of each component to eat when meals are preplated, each component must be

provided in the minimum serving size for each age group in order to claim the meal for reimbursement.

Question 4—While FSMS is not being used, how can staff continue to support children in maintaining autonomy over their per-

sonal eating choices?

Responsive feeding is the practice of providing meals to children in a way that respects their autonomy of choice and natural hun-

ger cues. It is a concept that applies to all meal service styles. Even while serving preplated meals not chosen by children, there are

ways staff and caregivers can ensure the environment is responsive to children’s needs and preferences. The following are tips for

feeding responsively while FSMS is not in use:

• Adopt an encouraging attitude. For example, let children know when you notice them tasting new things.

• Keep talk about food observational or educational. For example, say, "It looks like we have chicken, apple sauce, and carrots

today. Which of these foods do you think will be crunchy?"

• Support children by maintaining a predictable routine, consistent expectations of children and staff at mealtimes, and by

acknowledging children can feel their autonomy is being challenged when they are served preplated foods not of their choos-

ing.

• Make it clear to children what control they do have at meals. For example, say, "You can eat what you want from your plate.

You get to decide when you've had enough."

• Avoid pressuring. For example, do not say, "At least try your meat before you finish."

• Avoid attempts to persuade, even with tone of voice. For example, do not say, "It looks like there's a lot of broccoli left on

your plate."

• Do not force children to finish their plate or a particular food item.

Question 5—Are there special guidelines for food safety?

There is no evidence suggesting COVID–19 is associated with the handling or consumption of food. Therefore, all staff should use

normal and appropriate food safety practices when handling, preparing, and serving food. All staff and children should observe

proper handwashing practices when eating food.

For more information on food safety, reference the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Food and Coronavirus Disease
