CACFP Child Care Center STAFF Training Civil Rights and Meal service Nevada Department of Agriculture, Food & Nutrition Division What is CACFP? Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Federal program, reimbursing us for the meals we provide. They have specific rules and requirements that we are required to meet. The purpose of the CACFP is to provide meal reimbursement for serving nutritious meals and snacks to eligible participants in child care centers, day care homes, Head Start programs, afterschool programs, emergency homeless shelters and adult day care centers. CACFP Requirements: Civil Rights Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits recipients of Federal financial assistance from discriminating against or otherwise excluding individuals on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in any of their activities. Your facility has a procedure in place for Civil Rights complaints. Ask your supervisor where the Civil Rights Complaint form & log are kept. The “And Justice for All Poster” must be posted in an area easily viewed by parents and caregivers. CACFP Requirements: Classrooms must take and record Daily Attendance. Meal Counts must be taken and recorded during the meal, called “Point of Service”. Teachers make sure this form is filled out correctly & the meals & attendance match (or attendance may be greater), or there are notes to explain the differences. Tips for when to include a child in the meal count: A child is included in the meal count if they sit at the table & are offered the meal. They can choose whether or not to eat. If they do not come to the table, do not count them. Write “refused to come to the table”. A child who arrives at the center during the approved meal time, and is offered breakfast with all components (bread item, milk, fruit or veggie) can be counted.
