 The mission of the Child & Adult Care Food Program is to improve the diets of children by reimbursing family day care providers for serving food that meets USDA nutritional guidelines. Day care providers who participate in the program receive monthly payments.
The program also provides training in proper nutrition, meal planning, developing good eating habits, and healthy attitudes about food. Western Dairyland is an approved CACFP sponsor for family day care serving children in Barron, Buffalo, Chippewa, Clark, Dunn, Eau Claire, Jackson, La Crosse, Monroe, Pepin, Pierce, Polk, St. Croix, Trempealeau, and Vernon counties, including the Ho-Chunk Nation.
To become a part of the program, family day care providers must be licensed by the State of Wisconsin or certified by the county. Participating homes must meet regulations and keep records of menus, meal counts, and child care enrollments. There are no income guidelines for this program.
