BOISE, ID – The Idaho Department of Education announced Monday that its Child Nutrition Programs division has published updated lists of child care centers and family day care homes participating in the federally funded Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
The CACFP, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, provides nutritious meals and snacks at no cost to enrolled infants, children, and adults in approved facilities. Nearly 200 centers and 43 sponsored family day care home providers across Idaho currently take part in the program.
According to the department, a household’s monthly income helps determine the reimbursement amount a facility receives from the USDA for each meal served. Updated federal income eligibility guidelines—effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026—outline the thresholds used to calculate reimbursement rates.
Residents can search for participating centers or day care homes by county using the department’s online interactive lists. Additional information is available through Idaho Child Nutrition Programs at 208-332-6805 or CACFPteam@sde.idaho.gov.
