Performance Standards, Accreditation Requirements, QRIS Individual association requirements to help improve quality Head Start, Early Head Start, NAEYC, NAFCC, States Usually incentive to comply May or may not agree with CFOC, 3 rd edition May or may not be available to all—our state does not include health and safety standards in QRIS

Licensing Rules Child Care Nutrition and Physical Activity; A Comparison of Current Guidelines to National Evidence Based Standards-- pdf A crosswalk comparing licensing rules to CFOC 3 rd edition Standards Calls for improved licensing rules, consistent across all forms of licensed care, and improved access to support for implementation

Licensing Rules Achieving a State of Healthy Weight 2014— A look at all states’ licensing rules addressing nutrition, physical activity and screen time compared to each other and CFOC 3 rd edition. Washington State not in the top tier – continued need for improvement

2013 Washington State survey of Health and Nutrition in Child Care UW Center for Public Health Nutrition urvey.shtml urvey.shtml Some of the healthy nutrition standards are followed. If a program participated in CACFP they did serve more nutritious food, but not always what is recommended. Half or less of programs followed the physical activity recommendations, with family child care having more challenges Policies and trainings following recommendations happen in only about half as well.

Recommendations Revise the WAC to be consistent with National Standards for all forms of licensed care, include policy and training WACs. Add health and safety to QRIS, especially nutrition, physical activity, screen time and training/administrative requirements that promote health and safety. Improve outreach and support for CACFP— opportunities for grants from Dept of Agriculture, etc.
