Happy CACFP Week!
Today’s theme is Literacy & Lunch — where healthy meals and learning come together!
Mealtime is more than just eating — it’s a chance to build language skills, spark curiosity, and make meaningful connections.
Ways to celebrate today:
• 📖 Read a book about food, farms, or healthy habits during snack or mealtime
• 🗣️ Encourage children to describe what they are eating
• 🌽 Introduce new words related to fruits, vegetables, and where food comes from
• ❓ Ask children questions about their food to spark conversation and learning
By combining story time and mealtime, you’re helping support healthy minds and healthy bodies every day.
Thank you for all you do to make learning part of every meal!
