Got feedback?

We're hosting a free listening session in response to the USDA's fluid milk expansion option that allows CACFP operators to serve whole and reduced-fat milk to all participants ages two and up. Join NCA's policy next Thursday, May 28, to share your reactions, provide feedback and get answers to any of your questions. This session is open for all to attend!

USDA released a final rule that allows whole and reduced-fat (2%) milk to be offered to participants ages two and up in the CACFP, National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), and Special Milk Program (SMP).

This rule does not require CACFP operators to offer whole and reduced-fat milk but allows operators the flexibility to offer these types of milk to participants two and up if it makes sense for their program. The rule will be effective June 8, 2026.

Child care providers play a vital role in supporting children, families, and communities across Iowa — yet many are earning less than $12 an hour, often without access to benefits.

Behind every safe, nurturing learning environment is a provider dedicating their time, energy, and care to helping children grow and thrive. Supporting providers means supporting the foundation of early learning and strengthening the workforce families rely on every day 💛
