From the Publisher:

This practical text provides future caregivers of children from birth to 8 years old the background they need to plan and implement a sound nutrition program in the early childhood environment. The only text of its kind, Food, Nutrition, and the Young Child, Fourth Edition continues a tradition of focusing on principles of food and good nutrition specifically as they relate to the young child, stressing a team approach in which food service staff, teachers, and parents work together to integrate these principles into the menu-planning process as well as the educational curriculum.
