Providing Water
August 12th, 2011
Guidance from the USDA issued on May 11, 2011 requires that children have access to water at all times:
Throughout the day, including at meal times, water should be made available to children to drink upon their request, but does not have to be available for children to self-serve. While drinking water must be made available to children during meal times, it is not part of the reimbursable meal and may not be served in lieu of fluid milk.
Please call us if you have any questions about this rule.
