We highly encourage you to purchase a set for each of your centers. KEY 1: Organization

Key 2: Oversight/Monitor Reviews WHY OH WHY do I need to Monitor my Centers? - You cant be at all of your centers all of the time! -It gives you important information on this centers compliance with CACFP regulation -It provides you with the opportunity to give technical assistance when necessary -It ensures that the center continually has a solid system for getting accurate meal counts every day

How Often Do I Monitor My Centers? At least three times a year No more than six months between any two reviews Make the timing of the reviews UNPREDICATABLE! Do your first Monitor Review of the Year within the first four weeks of the fiscal year to head off potential problems early on!
