A. General Requirements. Standard 4. 2. 0. Written Nutrition Plan. The facility should provide nourishing and attractive food for children according to a written plan developed by a qualified nutritionist/registered dietitian.
Caregivers/teachers, directors, and food service personnel should share the responsibility for carrying out the plan. The administrator is responsible for implementing the plan but may delegate tasks to caregivers/teachers and food service personnel. Where infants and young children are involved, special attention to the feeding plan may include attention to supporting mothers in maintaining their human milk supply. The nutrition plan should include steps to take when problems require rapid response by the staff, such as when a child chokes during mealtime or has an allergic reaction to a food.
The completed plan should be on file, easily accessible to staff, and available to parents/guardians upon request. A written care plan from the primary care provider, clearly stating the food(s) to be avoided and food(s) to be substituted should be on file. This information should be updated periodically if the modification is not a lifetime special dietary need. Staff should be trained about a child’s dietary modification to ensure that no child in care ingests inappropriate foods while at the facility. The proper modifications should be implemented whether the child brings their own food or whether it is prepared on site. The facility needs to inform all families and staff if certain foods, such as nut products (example: peanut butter), should not be brought from home because of a child’s life- threatening allergy.
Staff should also know what procedure to follow if ingestion occurs. In addition to knowing ahead of time what procedures to follow, staff must know their designated roles during an emergency. The emergency plan should be dated and updated. RATIONALE: Nourishing and attractive food is the cornerstone for children’s health, growth, and development as well as developmentally appropriate learning experiences (1- 9). Nutrition and feeding are fundamental and required in every facility. Because children grow and develop more rapidly during the first few years of life than at any other time, the child’s home and the facility together must provide food that is adequate in amount and type to meet each child’s growth and nutritional needs. Children can learn healthy eating habits and be better equipped to maintain a healthy weight if they eat nourishing food while attending early care and education settings and if they are allowed to feed themselves and determine the amount of food they will ingest at any one sitting.
The obesity epidemic makes this an important lesson today. In larger facilities, professional nutrition staff must be involved to assure compliance with nutrition and food service guidelines, including accommodation of children with special health care needs.

Routine Health Supervision and Growth Monitoring. The facility should require that each child has routine health supervision by the child’s primary care provider, according to the standards of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) (3). For all children, health supervision includes routine screening tests, immunizations, and chronic or acute illness monitoring. For children younger than twenty- four months of age, health supervision includes documentation and plotting of sex- specific charts on child growth standards from the World Health Organization (WHO), available at http: //www. For children twenty- four months of age and older, sex- specific height and weight graphs should be plotted by the primary care provider in addition to body mass index (BMI), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). BMI is classified as underweight (BMI less than 5%), healthy weight (BMI 5%- 8.
Emotional availability (EA): Theoretical background, empirical research using the EA Scales, and clinical applications. Emotional availability (EA), as a construct, refers to the capacity of a dyad to share an emotionally healthy relationship. The Emotional Availability (EA) Scales assess this construct using a multi- dimensional framework, with scales measuring the affect and behavior of both the child and adult partner (caregiver).
The four caregiver components are sensitivity, structuring, non- intrusiveness, and non- hostility. The two child components are the child’s responsiveness to the caregiver and the child’s involvement of the caregiver. We first describe this relationship construct, look at psychometric properties in basic and prevention/intervention efforts, then review the extant empirical literature in order to examine the scope of studies assessing EA by using the EA Scales. We also explore its use in clinical practice.
Throughout, we critically evaluate the knowledge base in this area as well as identify areas for further growth.
