Nutrition Services

In CCRC’s state-of-the-art kitchen, over 16,000 nutritious meals are prepared and served daily to children. Enrolled children receive healthy meals, along with an assessment of their nutritional needs and the necessary follow-ups. Nutrition education is available for parents and incorporated into daily classroom activities for children. These meals are funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
