Child and Adult Care Food Program
Do you provide child care for children other than your own?
Learn how you can receive up to $85 per child per month to help provide nutritious meals and snacks to the children in your care.
The Child Care Council is a sponsor of the federally-funded Child and Adult Care Food Program. The program offers child care providers and legally exempt child care providers nutrition education and monetary reimbursement for the cost of nutritionally balanced meals and snacks.
The program is based on guidelines designed by the United States Department of Agriculture.

Learn how a healthier diet will help you and your family feel better, and learn how to stretch your food dollar.
The Eat Smart New York program through Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oneida County provides nutrition education to individuals and families who receive food stamps, WIC, Medicaid, or have a child enrolled in Head Start, or if you are a child care provider that cares for a child whose family meets low-income eligibility guidelines.
ESNY lessons are held on an individual or group basis, and can be held at individual homes, community agencies or other sites that can accommodate nutrition/cooking classes.
