Child Care Food Program

A Parent’s Guide to the USDA Child Care Food Program in Child Care Homes and Centers.

Each day more than 2.6 million children participate in the Child Care Food Program (CCFP) at child care homes and centers across the country. The CCFP is administered in Florida by the Department of Health and is funded by United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The CCFP provides reimbursement to child care providers for nutritious meals and snacks served to children in their home without passing on the cost to the parent. More importantly, through the work of the child care provider and the parents’ efforts, the program helps children develop desirable eating habits and learn about healthy food choices at an early age.

Meals
CCFP homes and centers must follow these meal requirements established by USDA:
