Staying well-informed and up-to-date is essential when participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Programs (CACFP). To support your commitment to providing nutritious meals, we encourage Contracting Entities to access valuable self-paced trainings and webinars. These resources are designed to enhance your knowledge and effectiveness in administering CACFP.
Institute of Child Nutrition (ICN)
The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) recommends registering with the Institute of Child Nutrition (ICN) on the ICN Website. ICN offers a wide range of self-paced trainings to help you navigate the complexities of CACFP. Their resources cover various aspects of the program, including nutrition, meal planning, and compliance.
Local Training Opportunities
For those seeking additional training courses or looking for local in-person training options, we recommend visiting your local Education Service Center's website. You can find a list of Education Service Centers on SquareMeals.org - https://www.squaremeals.org/About/Education-Service-Centers. They often offer region-specific training opportunities and resources.
