The Texas Department of Agriculture operates the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) which reimburses childcare centers, day care home providers, and adult day care cneters for part of the cost associated with serving more than 400,000 approved meals and snacks to children and adults in Texas every day.

The goal of the CACFP is to improve and maintain the health and nutritional status of children and adults, promote development of good eating habits, and integrate nutritious food service with organized child and adult day care services.

More information about CACFP and TDA can be found HERE.

Advance Childcare, Inc is a 501 (c) non-profit agency, located in Corsicana, Texas.  As our sponsor, they work to find the most efficient way to operate our food service program without having to memorize a myriad of regulations or spend countless hours maintaining required CACFP paperwork. 

Advance has allowed us to take our food program digital by providing us with a computerized management system and tablets within our classrooms to capture meal counts quickly and accurately.
