About us
Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)
Child Management Associates (CMA) is a non-profit sponsor of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). CMA works to ensure that healthy, well-balanced and nourishing meals are served to children in daycare away from home. CMA offers reimbursement for meals served and other resources to eligible home daycares and centers.
In addition, CMA distributes a monthly newsletter featuring fresh recipes, engaging activity suggestions, and valuable resources. The organization also conducts annual training workshops that share essential advice on healthy eating practices and cost-saving strategies using coupons.
CMA established in 1980
How Does it Work?
CMA assists caregivers in providing more nutritious, healthful meals.
CMA provides monthly reimbursements to participating daycare homes assisting caregivers in providing more nutritious, healthful meals. Participating homes and centers may be reimbursed for up to two meals and one snack per child per day.
All meals served must meet certain nutritional requirements to promote the health and well-being of children.
The amount homes receive is based on a two-tier reimbursement scale. Whether you qualify for Tier 1 or Tier 2 rates is based on a variety of factors such as your school boundaries, your personal income, or the income of the families you serve. The amount a center receives is based on free/reduced paid income level of parents.
Providing CACFP Sponsorship
CMA Sponsors Licensed, Relative Care, Alternate Approval Providers, and Learn Centers.
The CACFP is available to state licensed providers, qualifying providers unable to obtain a state license, and unlicensed providers who watch related children such as grandchildren, nieces, or nephews. In order to participate in CACFP without a state license, you must meet several requirements including obtaining a clear criminal background check (BCI) for every person living in your household 12 years and older (certain exceptions may apply).
For more information or to find out about relative care, alternate approval, or centers please contact us here or call/text (801) 566-1007.
