Need free online training? Just log in! This month we are featuring the WHOLE GRAINS - the WHOLE Story

Annual Training: The year is halfway over! If you haven't attended a workshop, we have a few more scheduled. We now offer the online training that you register and take online and print your own certificate. Don't wait until the last minute - you can take it now. You must have it completed by September 30, 2014.

The Agrilife Ext. Service has posted the SIDS and SHAKEN Baby Training on their website again! You can find the link at www.nutriservice.org under self study. Just scroll down and you will find it on the list. This had been removed a while back, so if you need it, better take it while you can. FREE :)

You can now follow us on Pinterest! www.pinterest.com/nutriservice/

For Home Daycare Providers Only Next month's reimbursements mail date: June 18

Dayhome re-enrollments will be coming in July. Please clean up

your enrollment and drop kids no longer enrolled so we don't send

you unnecessary forms.

If you plan to be out for summer vacation, be sure to call the office

and call your licensing rep\ We know of a few providers that lost

their license because they weren't home when the licensing staff

visited (and they did not respond to the letter they received).

For Centers Only Next month's reimbursements mail date if complete claim is in by the 4th: June 20

Annual training for centers staff is available online at

www.nutriservice.org. This is required training for all center staff

who participate in the food service. Very convenient: available

24/7. Free Training for all your staff, just check it out.

DID YOU KNOW? Milk or juice is not a requirement at snack time...

You can serve any 2 of the 4 components at snack. Serving a piece

of fruit or a vegetable as one of those components is a GREAT idea

at snack. Fresh food is always a healthy choice. We are required to

follow the licensing standard regarding juice: If you are serving

juice at both breakfast and lunch, you are out of compliance.

Licensing standard 747.3116: Only serve up to 4 ounces of fruit or

vegetable juice per day for ages 1-5. Only 6 ounces PER DAY for

ages 6 and older.

get wrapped in an entire roll of toilet paper is the

winner!

This specific example was found at

more fun minute to win it games for kids. You can

also do a search online for "minute to win it kids"

or come up with your own games to play this

summer. If you do make some up of your own be

sure to sure with us!
