The Child Adult Care Food Program (CCAFP) is a federally funded program
of Food and Nutrition Services (USDA). The California State Department
of Education is the administrative agency for the CCAFP in
California.
The objectives of the CCAFP are: to improve the diet
of children age twelve and younger by providing the children with
nutritious well balanced meals, develop good eating habits that will
last through later years, and to train child care providers in good
nutrition practices.
The CCAFP is available to licensed child care
providers in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Child care
providers must feed children according to USDA guidelines, complete and
submit all required paperwork, attend one yearly nutrition training
workshop and allow Food Program Specialists to monitor meal services at
least three times during the fiscal year.
