Child & Adult Care Food Program
In 1987 Children’s Friends and Service adopted the USDA’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) to supplement the income of licensed family childcare providers. In addition to providing financial reimbursement, CACFP promotes healthy nutrition among participating family childcare homes.

Early Head Start
Families participate in weekly scheduled home visits that support parents in their role as their children’s first teachers. This service focuses on parents’ goals for their own education, job skills, and overall family needs. Parents receive health and nutrition information and services to ensure optimal growth for children and their families.

Child Care
The Children’s Friend Child Care Program is designed to provide quality care and education to children ages three, four, and five. (Child Care at Dexter Street is available for children six weeks to five years of age.) Our goals are to foster a positive self-concept, develop social skills, promote language and physical development, encourage creative expression, and foster an awareness and respect of diverse cultures and values. Experienced and degreed teachers lead each classroom. Bilingual staff is always available to help support the center’s children and families. A registered nurse is available to provide support and answer parents’ health questions. Eligible families may use DHS childcare vouchers. A nutritious breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack are provided, which have been approved by the Department of Education’s Child and Adult Care Food Program.
