Development of an online curriculum for California early care and education providers on healthy beverages.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Children's consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with obesity, diabetes, and dental decay. California's Healthy Beverages in Child Care Act (AB 2084) requires all licensed child care centers and family child care homes to comply with healthy beverages standards, however many licensed providers in California are unaware of the law and few are fully compliant with the law's requirements. The aim of the current project is to describe the development of a self-paced online training on best practices and implementation of AB 2084 in English and Spanish for family child care home and child care center providers; and to evaluate the feasibility, defined as being accessible, acceptable, and satisfactory to providers, of this new online course.
