Healthy Tots Act

Healthy Tots provides funding and resources to support child care facilities’ ability to serve nutritious meals and to offer high-quality wellness programming. The Healthy Tots Act of 2014 became effective on Feb. 26, 2015. Child care facilities that participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) are automatically eligible to receive the Healthy Tots reimbursements.

There are three major components of the Healthy Tots Act:

Farm to Early Childcare Education (ECE) Roadmap

OSSE, FRESHFARM and DC Food Policy Council developed the Farm to ECE Roadmap thanks to a generous two-year Farm to Early Care and Education Implementation Grant (FIG) from the Association of State Public Health Nutritionists (ASPHN). The three organizations formed a coalition that also included members of DC Health, DC Hunger Solutions, DC Association for Education of the Young Child and UDC SNAP-Ed and implemented root-cause analysis brainstorming sessions to create the framework for the Roadmap that includes barriers, tactics and strategies.
