Nutrition support for child care providers

Options for Learning’s Home-based Nutrition Program helps licensed child care providers serve nutritious meals and snacks while receiving reimbursement through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).

Along with financial support, providers gain access to training, guidance, menu planning, and ongoing assistance that help children thrive and programs succeed. Our knowledgeable staff will help you navigate requirements and ensure you and the children in your care are supported throughout your participation. We serve providers in English, Spanish, and Chinese.

The Nutrition Program is inclusive of all children from ages 0 to 12 and can accommodate children with special dietary needs.
