Child & Adult Food Care Program(CAFCP)

The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is federally funded by the United States Department of Agriculture. Its goal is to promote good nutrition and positive eating habits and attitudes for children in family child care homes.

How will CACFP benefit the families and me?

Parents:

  • Reasonable rates - No need to pass all of your food costs on to the parents.
  • Confidence - Parents know that you have a registered child development home and their children will receive good nutrition.
  • Parents will receive one of the few governmental supports of quality child care.

Children:

  • Nutrition - Good nutrition assists proper growth and development.
  • Learning - Children can participate in activities about food and nutrition.
  • Routine - Children with a healthy diet and routines that affect eating, sleeping and playing are likely to be good natured and sociable.

Provider:

  • Cash reimbursement - Receive monthly payment to supplement your income.
  • Training - Nutrition training and on-site consultations.
  • Newsletter - Food activities and ideas, other child care information.
  • Professionalism - Parents see you as a professional; your records will be in order; and you gain increased self-esteem from knowing you provide nutritious meals and snacks.
