The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), which is funded by the USDA, reimburses child care providers for a portion of the cost of day care meals.

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 for Certified family child care homes and centers, knows this well.
