Bright Minds & Mud Pies participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program — a federal USDA program that provides healthy, reimbursed meals to enrolled children every day at no extra cost to families.
The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federally-funded program that reimburses participating child care centers for serving healthy meals and snacks. Enrolling your child ensures they receive proper nutrition during their time with us.
Every enrolled child receives a USDA-standards breakfast each morning — milk, fruit or vegetable, and grains included.
A nutritious lunch and afternoon snack are provided daily. All meals meet federal USDA nutrition requirements.
Meals are included in your tuition. CACFP reimburses the center — you pay nothing extra for breakfast, lunch, or snacks.
Completing this form takes about 5 minutes. Return it to our staff on or before your child's first day.
