About Infant & Child Nutrition Inc

Infant & Child Nutrition Inc is a nonprofit organization in Ocala, Florida, dedicated to improving the quality of meals served to children in licensed family child care homes. As a local sponsor of the USDA Child Care Food Program, the organization helps providers serve nutritious, well-balanced meals and snacks that meet federal guidelines, supporting children’s healthy growth and development from infancy through age 12.

Rather than offering direct childcare, Infant & Child Nutrition Inc works behind the scenes to support licensed providers. The organization assists with meal planning, record-keeping, and paperwork so that caregivers can focus on caring for children. It helps providers stay in compliance with USDA nutrition standards while making it easier to access reimbursements for the healthy meals they serve.

Training and technical assistance are an important part of the program. Infant & Child Nutrition offers education on food safety, sanitation, and menu planning, ensuring providers have the tools they need to serve wholesome, age-appropriate meals. By partnering with the organization, child care homes can improve the quality of the food they offer without placing extra financial strain on families.
