Child Care Connections is a sponsor of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)funded by the US Department of Agriculture.  This program provides cash reimbursements for food costs and nutrition information to child care providers who serve healthy foods to the children in their care.   We are proud to offer this program to hundreds of child care providers in northwest lower Michigan.

• An Organizer Box complete with hanging files, recipes, forms, postage paid envelopes and more, to help you submit your monthly menus efficiently.
• We work with you to insure that you receive the maximum reimbursement available.
• Nutrition education materials suggestions to assist them in planning and preparing meals and snacks.  Monitoring by our staff helps assure quality food service for children.
• You receive a one hour credit toward licensing training requirements for each year you participate in our food program.
