Nutrition Policy Institute’s Danielle Lee will present with CACFP Roundtable’s Elyse Homel Vitale and Samantha Kay-Daleiden Marshall at the 2025 Child and Adult Care Food Program National Professional Association Conference. The conference, hosted in Henderson, NV from June 10-12, will discuss research and policies related to Child and Adult Care Food Program (also known as CACFP) reimbursement, participation, and retention and propose measures to further develop the program. Their presentation will detail NPI’s collaborative research with CACFP Roundtable on the impact of increased CACFP reimbursements for family child care home providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, they will introduce a new pilot-study to determine the effectiveness of a peer-navigator model in increasing family child care home provider participation and retention in CACFP.
