These meal plans are made for home daycare providers in the CACFP so providers don't have to worry about it but still get reimbursed for serving good food.
We know home daycare providers have too much on their plate to worry about rule-checking, list-making, and meal planning.
So we use our decades of experience as experts in childcare, the CACFP, and being mommas to do it for you.
Each season has 12 weeks of meal plans to choose from, which includes a menu and a shopping list.
