Don't Stop Telling Congress: Young Children in All-Day Child Care Need Additional Snack. 
​
Congress is in the midst of making final decisions on critically-important child nutrition programs – including programs that provide nutritious meals and snacks to children in child care.  

Two bills have been introduced that would allow an additional healthy meal or snack to be served to children in care for over eight hours per day.
  • The Access to Healthy Food for Young Children Act, S. 1833 (pdf)
  • The Early Childhood Nutrition Improvement Act, H.R. 3886 (pdf)
Actions to Take Today to Ensure an Additional Snack for Young Children is served in All-Day Child Care:
  • Join the buzz on social media and tweet your support for the additional snack for kids in child care for more than eight hours per day.  Urge your Members of Congress to make this a top priority for the final child nutrition bill.
  • Encourage your Senators to cosponsor the Senate bill here and your Representatives to cosponsor the House bill here.
