Early Care and Education Center

Food Program

The University of Wyoming Early Care and Education Center participates in the Child and Adult Food Care Program (CACFP).  The CACFP is a federally funded nutrition program that is handled through the Wyoming Department of Education under the Health and Safety Unit.  The program provides entitlement subsidies for meals served to enrolled participants at the UWECEC as a qualifying early childhood center.

The UWECEC serves a breakfast for all children at the Center and a hot lunch and afternoon snack for those children who attend all day.  Meals are developed based upon the nutritional guidelines of the CACFP as well as the assistance from a qualified nutritionist at the University of Wyoming in the Department of Residence Life and Dining Services.  Each child is offered a family-style meal in their own rooms along with the staff and children of the room.  If children have specific allergies or dietary requests arrangements can be made at the request of the parent or guardian.
