Welcome to the Child Care Food Program

The Child Care Food Program (CCFP) offers lifetime benefits. Proper nutrition during the early years of childhood ensures appropriate development and reduces physical and educational problems later in life.

The preschool years are when eating patterns and habits are being established that may determine the quality of one’s diet throughout life. Children who are in day care with providers participating on the CCFP are given the opportunity of nutrition education by providers who understand their role in shaping attitudes toward the acceptance of nutritious foods.

“The food program has been a big help to me. For some children the only nutritious meals they receive are at day care. The paperwork only takes a few minutes a day, well worth the reimbursement I receive. It has also helped me in planning meals for my own family”

Child Care Food Program is a program of Central Vermont Community Action Council
