Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)

The CACFP is a cornerstone of our commitment to the health and well-being of the children and adults in our care. We embrace its mission to ensure access to nutritious meals and snacks. At our facility, we recognize the profound impact of the CACFP on nutrition, growth, and development. We understand that proper nutrition is essential for optimal learning and long-term success, particularly during critical early childhood stages.

Nutritional Excellence

We adhere to the CACFP's rigorous nutrition standards, providing meals and snacks that meet or exceed federal guidelines. Our menus incorporate a variety of nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy.

Our Guiding Principles

Promotion of Healthy Habits

Mealtime is an opportunity to instill lifelong healthy eating habits. Through positive experiences, we encourage exploration of new foods, nutritious choices, and a positive relationship with food.

Inclusivity and Accessibility

We serve all individuals, regardless of dietary preferences, restrictions, or cultural backgrounds. Our meals accommodate diverse needs, ensuring everyone has access to nourishing options.

Education and Empowerment

We provide nutrition education and resources to children, families, and staff, equipping them with knowledge and skills for healthy choices both inside and outside our center.

Community Collaboration

Addressing food insecurity requires collaboration. We actively engage with stakeholders to advocate for policies supporting access to nutritious food for all.

Nourishing Bodies, Minds, and Spirits

Through our participation in the CACFP, we are proud to play a role in nourishing those we serve. Together, we create a culture of health and wellness, ensuring every individual has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.
