Child Nutrition Program

The Child Nutrition Program is a federal initiative that provides nutritious meals and snacks to children in schools, daycare centers, and after-school programs. Its goal is to support children's growth, learning, and overall health by ensuring they have access to balanced, healthy food during the day. The program also offers nutritional guidance and standards to promote better eating habits. Funded by the government, it helps reduce food insecurity among children and encourages lifelong healthy eating behaviors, fostering supportive environments where children can thrive academically and physically.
