Welcome to Arizona’s Child and Adult Care Food Program Webpage!

The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federally-funded Child Nutrition Program that is proudly administered by the Arizona Department of Education.

With funding from the USDA, the CACFP provides aid to child care centers, family day care homes, at-risk afterschool programs, Head Start programs, outside-school-hours programs, adult day care centers, and emergency shelters for the provision of nutritious foods that contribute to the wellness, healthy growth and development of young children, and the health and wellness of older adults and chronically impaired disabled persons across Arizona.

On our webpage, you can find information about applying to operate the program, web-based trainings, upcoming in-person trainings, program forms, resources, and so much more!
