11 Best Practice Checklist for Menu Planning Planning menus for meals and snacks in advance is important to meeting the nutrition needs of the children in your care. Taking time to plan menus using healthy cooking methods, and providing nutrition education are important Best Practices. Reading label directions and using standardized recipes are part of running a quality nutrition program. The state agency and sponsor are valuable resources for planning and preparing quality meals and snacks. Indicate whether your program meets each of the Best Practices below. Check Yes if you are already doing a Best Practice. Check Some if you have started working on a Best Practice. Check Maybe if you might work on a Best Practice in the future. Check NA (Not Applicable) if you do not think the Best Practice is something you need to be doing. Best Practices Yes Some Maybe Na Work schedules for food preparation are developed, posted, and periodically reviewed. Batch cooking methods are used whenever possible. Meals and snacks are served so that all foods are at their peak of freshness and when the quality is the best. All child care staff, including teachers, are trained to observe children s food choices. Observations of children s food choices are noted and reported to the menu planner. How well children accept new foods is noted. Nutrition education activities are planned to help children accept new foods. Parents are involved in promoting new menus and foods offered in the child care center. The ethnic and cultural backgrounds of all children are considered when menus are planned. Menus are planned in advance. A complete set of standardized recipes is available in all food preparation locations. Child care nutrition program staff members are trained in the use of standardized recipes and how to follow package directions. Foods are prepared using healthy cooking methods such as steaming instead of boiling and baking, roasting, or grilling instead of frying.
