Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act of 2025

This legislation, known as the Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act of 2025, seeks to bolster the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) by amending the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. Its primary provision introduces an additional reimbursement of 10 cents for each meal and supplement served under the program, effective from the first month after enactment. This new reimbursement amount will be subject to adjustment and is designed to apply broadly across various CACFP settings. The bill also modifies existing provisions related to the calculation of reimbursements for family or group day care home sponsoring organizations , ensuring the additional 10-cent payment is included in their funding. These changes aim to provide greater financial support to improve the nutritional quality of food provided to children and adults in care.
