Great nutrition information for child care providers! We help take the guesswork out of your meal planning for the children.
We offer lots of recipes, which are ready-to-use in your day care kitchen! And all our recipes are kid-tested! We have monthly menu planners and cookbooks, recipe code cards. All designed to take the work out of meal planning and preparation!
CCNI provides great monthly newsletters, menu planners, and activity packets.
We also focus on delivering the Child & Adult Care Food Program in Minnesota. We offer the simplest Food Program forms in the State! Our goal with this reimbursement program is a promise that the paperwork will be a breeze with us.
Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Real people answer our phones most of the time during business hours. We are “cross-trained” so your questions can be answered immediately.
Insurance information available on the first visit that a CCNI staff member pays to a participating day care provider.
Direct Deposit of Food Program meal reimbursement checks is available on request.
We offer our participating providers access to a lending library which contains hundreds of books and tapes, dealing with a host of day care issues.
Our providers receive a cookbook, record keeping calendar, and other publications, all free of charge!
We offer in-depth day care training and information. Included in this are valuable resources, children's activities, nutrition information, and positive reinforcement for every child care provider.
Resources: When it comes to accessing good-quality child care, we can be very helpful because we know where the area Child Care Resource & Referrals are located, we know the county day care licensors, and we have other information available which you may need. Just call us!
