Child Care Food Program

The Child Care Food Program (CCFP) was created by Congress in response to the need for sound nutrition for children in economically depressed areas. The purpose of CCFP is to improve the health and eating habits of children enrolled in both non-residential child care centers and family child care homes. It has grown to include reimbursement for meals served to children in most child care settings. Licensed family child care homes and child care centers sponsored by public or private nonprofit organizations are eligible to participate in CCFP. The City of La Habra Child Development Division is a sponsor for the Child Care Food Program. We provide nutrition, education, and activities, as well as in-home training/workshops, technical assistance ,and reimbursement for meals served to children in family child care homes.
