Freedom Christian Academy Early Learning Center provides breakfast and afternoon snacks to each child through a food program called the Child Care Food Program.  At no additional cost to tuition.

 

“Research shows that well-nourished children are healthier, more attentive, and have better mental performance than children who are under-nourished.

 

The Child Care Food Program helps child care facilities implement “best practices” to ensure children have access to a variety of nutritious foods for healthy growth and to reduce obesity risk. The CCFP and two related programs, the Afterschool Meals Program and the Homeless Children Nutrition Program, are administered by the Bureau of Child Care Food Programs. 

​

The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers the Program at the Federal level. At the State level, the NSLP is administered by State agencies, which operate the Program through agreements with school food authorities.
