Breastfeeding Friendly Child Care Toolkits
We are recognizing and promoting child care centers that have made breastfeeding support a priority. Programs that receive this designation will receive a certificate, a "Breastfeeding Friendly Certified" window cling, and will be listed on our website.
You can be certified as a breastfeeding-friendly child care provider if these simple steps are in place:
- Contact us to get started
- Meet with our breastfeeding staff to complete a pre-assessment and develop an action plan based on assessment results
- Attend one training session
- Meet all six criteria in the toolkit
- Complete the post-assessment and conduct an on-site review with our staff to establish that the six criteria were met
