Diversity&Inclusion


DiversityandInclusion

Certain studies suggest that children of higher socioeconomic backgrounds, rather than more disadvantaged backgrounds, benefit more from interventions. Policy-makers and practitioners must therefore consider the potential impact of interventions to ensure that obesity prevention does not deepen existing

inequalities. The focus of obesity prevention interventions should be on protecting the right of all children to a healthy start to life.

Strategies and programs need to prioritize the inclusion of vulnerable groups,

particularly children with disabilities. Children with special learning needs, for instance, can be provided for by recommendations and guidance on the modification of population-based strategies for specific groups. It is also important to ensure that

children are not disadvantaged on the basis of gender.

Healthprofessionals use growth charts to seewhetherachild’sweightfallsintoahealthyrange for the child’s height, age, and sex.Childrenwith a BMI at or above the 85thpercenKleandlessthanthe95thpercenKleare considered overweight. Children at orabovethe95thpercenKlehaveobesity.Obesity is defined as body mass index (BMI) which is a measure of body fat based

on height and weight. A person is considered obese when his or her BMI is 30 or higher. The reason BMI increases, is due to eating more calories than the body

uses. The extra calories not used in physical activity are stored in your body as fat.

A Brief History of USDA Food Guides

1916 to 1930s: “Food for Young Children” and “How to Select Food”

Established guidance based on food groups and household measures Focus was on “protective foods”

1940s: A Guide to Good Eating (Basic Seven)

Foundation diet for nutrient adequacy Included daily number of servings needed from each of seven food groups

Lacked specific serving sizes Considered complex

1956 to 1970s: Food for Fitness, A Daily Food Guide (Basic Four)

Foundation diet approach—goals for nutrient adequacy Specified amounts from four food groups Did not include guidance on appropriate fats, sugars, and calorie intake

1979: Hassle-Free Daily Food Guide

Developed after the 1977 Dietary Goals for the United States were released

Based on the Basic Four, but also included a fifth group to highlight the need to moderate intake of fats, sweets, and alcohol

1984: Food Wheel: A Pattern for Daily Food Choices

Total diet approachCIncluded goals for both nutrient adequacy and moderation

Five food groups and amounts formed the basis for the Food Guide Pyramid

Daily amounts of food provided at three calorie levels First illustrated for a Red Cross nutrition course as a food wheel

19

June 2011

1992: Food Guide Pyramid

Total diet approach—goals for both nutrient adequacy and moderation Developed using consumer research, to bring awareness to the new food patterns

Illustration focused on concepts of variety, moderation, and proportion Included visualization of added fats and sugars throughout five food groups and in the tip

Included range for daily amounts of food across three calorie levels

2005: MyPyramid Food Guidance System

Introduced along with updating of Food Guide Pyramid food patterns for the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, including daily amounts of food at 12 calorie levels

Continued “pyramid” concept, based on consumer research, but simplified illustration. Detailed information provided on website “MyPyramid.gov”

Added a band for oils and the concept of physical activity Illustration could be used to describe concepts of variety, moderation, and proportion

2011: MyPlate

Introduced along with updating of USDA food patterns for the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans

Different shape to help grab consumers’ attention with a new visual cue Icon that serves as a reminder for healthy eating, not intended to provide specific messages

Visual is linked to food and is a familiar mealtime symbol in consumers’ minds, as identified through testing

“My” continues the personalization approach from MyPyramid

RecommendedSodiumIntake

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends the following “adequate intakes,” per

day:

•  1,000 milligrams (mg) for children aged 1 to 3

•  1,200 mg for children aged 4 to 8

•  1,500 mg for people aged 9 to 50

•  1,300 mg for adults aged 51 to 70

•  1,200 mg for seniors over 70 years of age.

Sodium plays an important role in the body. Salt is essential for: 1) fluid balance,

2) muscle strength 3) nerve function

U.S. guidelines call for less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day -- about 1 teaspoon of table salt.

Half of Americans should drop to 1,500 milligrams a day.

Attendance Ages Served What ages will you serve in your program?

Enrollment procedures What are your enrollment procedures? Do you require parents to visit and or stay with their children in the beginning? What paperwork/documentation do you require before the child starts? Do you have a trial period? Weekly Schedule What days will you be open? What time will you open and when will you close? Be clear about what your hours are and put them in writing. Do you have a cut-off time for drop off? If so, be sure to state it. If you decide to extend your hours, or offer non-traditional hours for individual families, indicate this in a separate agreement in their individual contract.

Absences What are your policies around absences? Do you expect to be notified if a child will not be in child care for the day? If so, at what point do you expect to be notified? Do you expect to be paid for absences? Appointments and early pick-ups Do you want to be notified if a child will be picked up early, or if a child has an appointment and will be leaving, and returning again later in the day? Termination What are causes for termination? What procedures are to be followed, and notices given for termination? What, if any, payment do you expect if notice is not given?


5 | P a g e


Holidays and Vacations Holidays What holidays are you closed for? Do you expect to be paid for holidays?

Vacations Will you close for a vacation? When and for how long? Do you expect to be paid for your vacation time?

Emergency/Substitute Care Be clear with parents that they must have arrangements for substitute care in the event that you are unable to care for their child. The parents, not the provider is responsible for arranging substitute care!


6 | P a g e


Program and Curriculum

Meals Will you serve meals or will the parents be responsible for providing them? Do you participate in the child care food program? Serve only organic foods? What if a child has specific dietary needs or has allergies?

Supplies Are parents responsible for supplying diapers and wipes? Snacks, cleaning or paper supplies? Or do you provide some of things items for a fee?.

Change of Clothing Are parents are responsible for maintaining a spare set of clothing in their child’s cubbies? Do you expect them to make sure the spare set of clothing matches their child’s current size?

Do you expect each family to contribute water, non perishable food items and a full set of clothing for their child to be stored with the emergency supplies in case of earthquake or other natural disaster or emergencies. If so, how often do you expect them to refresh the food and water supplies?


7 | P a g e


Daily Activity Schedule

It's a good idea to let parents know what your daily schedule is. When parents know your schedule, they can make better decisions about when to drop off or pick up their child, which may result in less disruptions in your schedule. It also gives parents a general idea what activities their child will be participating in.

Your Schedule can be as simple or as detailed as you wish.


8 | P a g e


Illness When should the parent keep the child home? Do you require a doctor’s note in order for a child to return to child care after certain illnesses? What are your policies for administering medication?

Medications What are your policies for administering medication?

Immunizations Be sure parents understand that complete Immunization records must be on file prior to a child’s first day of enrollment. You will need to have a blue immunization form filled out and kept up to date for each child.


9 | P a g e


Guidance Policy It is very important that you discuss guidance and discipline policies with parents, and are in agreement on this issue.


10 | P a g e


Fees

Tuition/ Rates Be clear on what your rates are, and what type of care and hours your rates cover. Be sure to include when and how you expect to be paid. What are the consequences of late payments? Payment during Family Vacations What about parents vacations? Do you expect to be paid for part/all of the time when the child is not there due to a family’s vacation?

Deposit Do you require a deposit? Is it refundable if the parent changes his mind? Late Fees Do you charge a late fee? How much? When does it start? Do you expect to be paid the late fee immediately, or when the parent pays the tuition? Methods of Payment What payment methods do you accept? Do you charge a service fee of $25 for any returned check? In the event multiple returned checks, do you require that parents make all future tuition payments in cash only?

What other information should I know/be aware of to care for your child as an individual? Events at home often influence your child's behavior. I am better able to help your child when you inform me of situations and/or events that might influence his/her overall behavior such as:

Divorce. Separation from a relative or friend. Death of a relative or friend.

Knowing about these transitional times allows me to give special attention, understanding, and care. The information you give me will remain confidential. Has anything happened recently in your child’s life that might have an effect on her/him?
