Building the Future with CACFP

Good nutrition today means a stronger tomorrow!

 GMCC provides a USDA approved breakfast and afternoon snack daily for all children. GMCC follows CACFP’s nutrition meal patterns and minimum serving sizes. Click below for more details.

Good nutrition is vital to children’s overall development and well-being. All of our child care menus include foods that are culturally diverse and seasonally appropriate. We also like to introduce new and different foods.

We strive to make our mealtime environment pleasant. We believe that sitting and eating with children provides an opportunity for positive role modeling and social interaction.
