Child and Adult Care Food Program
What is the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)?
The Child and Adult Care Food Program is a nutrition program designed to upgrade the quality of food for children and disabled adults who are in daycare.
Why should people apply?
Daycare providers are given a reimbursement for food costs for each child claimed; to include their own if the household is income-eligible.
What are the benefits to the applicants?
The applicants are taught about the importance of nutritious meals and health practices which will not only benefit the children in care, but the entire family for healthier living
Who is eligible to apply and how is eligibility determined?
Any person 18 years of age or older that provides child care services for children that do not live with them. Disabled adults are eligible only if a doctor's letter is available. All providers must first undergo a background check and have a clearance in hand before they can be registered in the program.
How long does it take to get approved?
The background check takes approximately 4-6 weeks to clear. A copy of the clearance letter must be provided to our offices before a monitor can be assigned. The registration visits can be conducted as early as a week.
