Nutrition Education
Program assists home daycare centers which serve children from infancy through age 12.
Provides services in five counties for day care providers conducting day care for children in their own homes. A non-resident must be present in order for a daycare provider to participate in the CACFP and the home must meet and abide by health and safety regulations. The day care provider will be reimbursed for nutritious meals that meet USDA standards and are served to the children in their care. Child development, parenting and nutrition education classes are also provided free of charge to each participant. There is a $15.00 yearly charge for a day care provider to participate in the CACFP.
