Nutrition Program

Options for Learning's Nutrition Program serves our early learning and school-age centers by providing nutritional meals and snacks for our enrolled children. The Nutrition Program also supports licensed family child care home providers who participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and the children enrolled in their care by providing reimbursement for creditable meals and valuable nutrition education. Our staff ensures that providers understand program requirements and encourages positive eating habits for children in care.
