CDE CACFP NMP Online Training Series

The NSD developed a series of eight online trainings to assist CACFP staff and day care home (DCH) providers with implementing the NMP. Please note, schools that are required to comply with the new preschool meal pattern will benefit from viewing the New Child Meal Pattern in the CACFP online course, because the new preschool meal pattern aligns with the new CACFP child meal pattern.
