Child Care Food Program Overview
The Child Care Food Program (CCFP) was established in 1968 in response to the need to provide adequate nutrition to a growing number of children in child care.
The goal of the CCFP is to see that well balanced meals are served and that good eating habits are taught in child care settings. The CCFP provides reimbursement for nutritious meals and snacks served to eligible children in family day care homes.
The CCFP is administered in Florida by the Department of Health. Funding for the program is provided by the US Department of Agriculture. Childhood Development Services, Inc. (CDS) is an approved sponsor organization for the CCFP.
