Un adecuado funcionamiento del Programa de Servicio de Alimentos de Verano (SFSP) por sus siglas en inglés para niños es el mayor deseo de todos los patrocinadores y el personal del sitio.

A smoothly run site for the Summer Food Service Program for children is something that every sponsor and site staff hopes to achieve.

This guidance is designed to give you, as a monitor for a program sponsor, a working knowledge of the SFSP and your duties and responsibilities as the sponsor’s representative.

Estas herramientas son para uso de agencias estatales, organizaciones patrocinadoras y otros para capacitar a proveedores, operadores, planificadores de menús y otro personal en el cumplimiento de los estándares de nutrición del CACFP que incluyen una mayor variedad de vegetales, más granos integrales y menos azúcares añadidos y grasa saturada.

This is a training tool for CACFP operators with infants discussing the infant meal pattern, developmental readiness, hunger and fullness signs, handling breastmilk and infant formula, solid foods, what is creditable, and more.

On Sept. 1, 2004, FNS published an interim rule entitled, Child and Adult Care Food Program: Improving Management and Program Integrity. This rule puts into effect regulatory provisions that FNS had proposed on Sept. 12, 2000, as modified in response to 548 public comments received on that proposal.

The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federally funded program that provides payments for eligible meals served to participants who meet age and income requirements. This handbook is for monitors of family day care homes (FDCHs). An FDCH is an organized nonresidential child care program for children, generally 12 years of age or younger, operated in a private home, and licensed or approved to provide care.  In order to participate in CACFP, FDCHs must enter into an agreement with a sponsoring organization (“sponsor”).
