What Is the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)?

The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federally funded initiative designed to support the health and well-being of children in care settings. Operated through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) under its Food and Nutrition Services Program, CACFP plays an important role in ensuring children receive balanced, nutritious meals throughout the day.

At its core, the program helps child care providers offer healthy meals and snacks to the children they serve. By promoting proper nutrition early in life, CACFP supports growth, development, and lifelong healthy habits.

Locally, Solano Family & Children’s Services (SFCS) proudly sponsors the Food Program in Solano and Napa counties. Through this partnership, family child care homes receive guidance, resources, and support to meet nutrition standards and provide quality meals to children in their care.

CACFP is more than just a food program—it’s a commitment to nurturing healthier communities by starting with the youngest members.

Understanding the Solano Eligibility List (SEL)

The Solano Eligibility List (SEL) helps ensure that childcare services are provided to families who need them most. By ranking applicants based on specific criteria, the SEL creates a fair and structured way to prioritize enrollment.

Families are evaluated using factors like gross household income, family size, and other qualifying needs. Before enrollment, income must be verified to confirm eligibility. In addition, children involved with Child Protective Services (CPS), or those at risk of neglect or abuse, are given top priority to ensure their safety and well-being.

In cases where a child lives with a guardian or foster parent, only the child’s income is considered when determining their ranking on the list. This helps provide equitable access to services regardless of the caregiver’s financial situation.

While income plays a major role in eligibility, it’s not the only factor. There are additional circumstances that may qualify a family for support. To better understand where you stand, you can view and download the current family size and income guidelines, or complete an application to explore all eligibility options.

The SEL is designed to make access to childcare more transparent, fair, and responsive to the needs of the community.
