CACFP REQUIREMENTS

We are proud to participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), a federal initiative that helps ensure children receive nutritious meals and snacks while in our care. This program supports your child’s healthy growth, development, and learning by promoting good eating habits early in life. f you have questions about your child’s meals or need to request a dietary accommodation, please contact your Center Coordinator.

We’re committed to helping your child thrive—one healthy bite at a time!

As part of our compliance and outreach efforts, please review the following flyers.  These flyers are also posted and accessible at your site:

ATTENDANCE MATTERS

Consistent attendance is one of the most important ways you can support your child’s success in Head Start. Every day in the classroom is a chance for your child to learn, grow, and build strong relationships with teachers and friends.

We understand that occasional absences happen, but missing too many days—especially early in the year—can make it harder for children to keep up and feel connected. If your child is sick or unable to attend, please notify your Center Coordinator as soon as possible.

Let’s work together to build strong routines and make every day count. Your partnership helps us create a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment for all children.

Thank you for being part of our Head Start family!
