Child & Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)

Providers who participate in the CACFP are responsible for feeding children in day care homes wholesome and attractive meals that meet children's nutritional needs. Meal time should be a pleasant and  social experience that promotes making wise food choices.

The way a child accepts food is determined by early eating habits.  Choose a child care provider who participates in the USDA Child & Adult Care Food Program and be assured you are doing the best you can for your child.

The USDA CACFP is sponsored locally by the Butte 4-C's. Their primary goal is to improve the nutritional intake of children in child care facilities and to give nutrition training to your child's day care provider.
