Provider Day 2026

Description

FREE | 2.5 CEUs

In celebration of Provider Appreciation Month and the 40th anniversary of the National CACFP Association, we’re taking a moment to celebrate you: the child care providers who make a difference every single day.  

Together, we’ll explore easy menu ideas, playful ways to turn everyday meals into opportunities for learning and movement, and helpful resources designed with providers in mind. It’s a chance to connect, feel appreciated and pick up simple ideas you can use right away!
