U.S.D.A Child and Adult Care Food Program

 

 

 

Children's Advocate Programs, Inc. Sponsors the USDA Child & Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Day Care Providers who are sponsored by CAPI are reimbursed on a monthly basis for two meals and one snack per day served to each child in attendance within your licensed capacity. The rate of reimbursement is established by the USDA and is the same with every sponsoring organization in accordance with federal guidelines.

 

 

 

 

The Reasons Why So Many Providers Choose Children's Advocate Programs, Inc


The Child & Adult Care Food Program is one of the most beneficial examples of federal support to emerge for licensed Family Day Care Providers. Many thousands of children in Minnesota have the opportunity to participate in this program

CAPI is a non-profit corporation. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of a licensed childcare provider, businesspersons and professional people. The Board of Directors together with a professional staff, are available to develop support service programs and specialized training.

In recognition of the demonstrated relationship between good nutrition and health, and the long-term consequences of early nutrition on subsequent growth and development, the Child & Adult Care Food Program offers lifetime benefits. The pre-school years are those when food consumption patterns and habits are established that may determine the quality of the diet in later life.

APPLY, for participation in USDA Child & Adult Care Food Program before your license has been approved. In so doing, providers are automatically eligible for CACFP benefits when the DHS notifies Minnesota Department of Children, Families and Learning that you are approved by the state agency.
