Nutritional Aid For Daycares

Research shows that taking the time to teach and help establish healthy eating habits early in life has positive effects on a child's health and well being. The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), a nutrition education and reimbursement program knows this well. The CACFP Program is funded as part of the National School Lunch Act by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The CACFP helps to assure parents that their children are receiving nutritious meals that contribute to a reduction in spending on health care and remedial education. Last year, the CACFP helped child care providers serve nutritious meals to 2.9 million children and adults across our nation.

The CACFP Program assures that nutritious meals and snacks are served to children and eligible adults enrolled in child care centers, family child care homes, after school programs, emergency shelters, and adult day care programs by providing reimbursement for meals that meet minimum nutritional standards. Joining the CACFP program just makes good business sense.
