FAQ’s:
What do you mean by professional development? REACH uses the Go NAPSACC definition. For center or school-based teachers/staff, it can include information presented at staff meetings and in-person or online training for contact hours or continuing education credits. For family child care home providers, it can include reading books, brochures or other print materials, or taking in-person or online training for contact hours or continuing education credits.
The facility is interested in participating in more professional development related to Child Nutrition. Where can I find information and training? Look for online trainings through CACFP, Go NAPSACC, and other organizations.
