Florida Department of Health- CCFP Rotation

The last rotation was at the Department of Health's Child Care Food Programs. 

The Child Care Food Program and two related programs, the Afterschool Nutrition Program and the Homeless Children Nutrition Program, are administered by the Bureau of Child Care Food Programs. These programs provide nutritious meals and snacks to children through public-private partnerships with organizations committed to caring for children. All three programs are funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. http://www.doh.state.fl.us/ccfp/

We worked with the Nutrition sections while with this department and created a 4 week cycle menu. We also worked on a food safety online training for CCFP centers. We created three modules for the training and presented our work at the end of the rotation. We met with various staff in the department to learn what they did for the program.

It was a good learning experience and nice change of pace to end the internship.
