Child Care Food Program (CCFP)

We partner directly with in-home childcare providers to ensure that local children receive the nutritious, balanced meals and snacks they need to grow.

What we do

The Child Care Food Program (CCFP) provides training, support, and reimbursement to licensed in-home child care providers for serving healthy meals to promote nutrition across Nebraska.

How we do it

We reimburse providers for serving meals that meet established federal nutrition standards, making high-quality care more sustainable.

To complement this financial support, our staff delivers professional development, menu planning, and compliance consultations – empowering providers to maintain a healthy environment where children can thrive.
