Eggs Eight Ways Eggs are an excellent source of protein and a favorite CACFP Meat Alternate at meal time. Serve them scrambled, hard boiled, over easy, baked, soft boiled, or in an omelette or egg salad. If you haven't tried poached eggs yet, try this classic. |
Handwashing Resources in Multiple Languages The Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) has many resources and promotion materials to help stress the importance of washing hands with soap and water. Regular handwashing is one of the best ways to remove germs, avoid getting sick, and prevent the spread of germs to others. |
Pandemic Response: Bleak Future for Child Care Our enrollment is at 41 but we are licensed for 99. We only closed for 2 weeks so that we would be available for our community during the COVID-19 disaster. We have worked very hard at keeping our preschool open through all the good and bad years. We survived the Category 5 Hurricane which destroyed our city and we were back open within 4 weeks. But, I don't believe we will survive COVID-19 crisis. |

Farmer's Market Near You The USDA makes it easy to find farmer's markets across the country with an online search tool. You can search for markets by zip code, geographic proximity, product availability, payment method and even whether the market participates in Federal Nutrition Programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). You can also search by selecting the state and typing the official name of the farmers market. Make your next meal with locally grown foods! |
