I will be providing fresh, healthy meals and snack for your child. General tuition covers breakfast, lunch, and a snack or 2 in between. On parent’s night, I will also be supplying a home-cooked dinner.
Little Embers aims to become a part of the Child and Adult Care Food Program. The CACFP is a U.S. government program that helps child care centers, after-school programs, and some adult care centers serve healthy meals and snacks.
It sets rules for what kinds of meals meet healthy standards (for example, including fruits, veggies, milk, whole grains, and proper portions).
It’s meant to make sure children and some adults in care get balanced meals — especially those from low-income families.
It’s run by the USDA and managed by each state.
This program allows for FDCH Sponsors to provide training, conduct monitoring, assist with planning healthy and well balanced menus.
A healthy relationship with food early on in life sets up children for a lifetime of success!
