Maryland daycare food program

The CACFP assists child care centers, adult day care centers, family child care, after-school programs, and emergency shelters in providing nutritious meals and snacks throughout the year. Participating programs receive financial reimbursements for serving meals and snacks that meet federal nutritional guidelines. Reimbursements paid to providers are based on how many meals were served each month.

Reimbursement rates are determined by the USDA and vary based on the income eligibility of participants. All early care and education providers can support families by helping them to find consistent medical care and encouraging them to have their children monitored regularly.
