Meals and Food Program
Starting Small Mixed Age Preschool participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Nutrition and nutrition education is an important part of their child care. The CACFP monitors the meals served to the children, offers meal reimbursement to help cover the costs of nutritious meals and snacks, as well as education for child care providers.
Starting Small Mixed Age Preschool is also involved in the "I am Moving, I am Learning" and the "Choosy Kids" Initiatives that was created by Head Start as a way to combat the growing problem of childhood obesity.
