New Resource for Serving Healthy Beverages in Child Care
A new Web site launched yesterday to help California’s child care providers implement AB 2084 (Brownley), legislation which prohibits most sugar-sweetened beverages from being served in licensed child care programs. AB 2084 went into effect in January. It requires licensed child care providers to:
- Make clean and safe drinking water available at all times
- Offer only unsweetened one percent or non-fat milk to children age two and older
- Limit juice to only one serving a day of 100 percent juice
- Prohibit beverages with added sweeteners or artificial flavors
