An Analysis of the Child and Adult Care Food Programs in Child Care Centers

Abstract

The Food and Nutrition Service administers the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) that provides healthy meals and snacks in child and adult day care facilities. This report uses the Cost, Quality and Child Outcomes study to analyze the characteristics of three types of child care centers: (1) centers that choose to participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP); (2) centers that are eligible for CACFP but do not participate; and (3) centers that are not eligible for CACFP. The report also develops a model of center participation in CACFP.
