Nutrition

What We Do

  • Wausau Child Care participates in the CACFP of nutrition. The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) promotes healthy and nutritious meals for children and adults in day care by reimbursing participating day care operators for their meal costs. The Program operates in regulated child care centers, outside-school-hours care centers, family day care homes, and some adult day care centers. For more information about the Child and Adult Care Food Program in Wisconsin call: (608) 267-9129.
