Lots of Love Learning Center is part of The Keystone Stars program (http://www.pakeys.org/keystone-stars/ ) and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) (https://www.fns.usda.gov/cacfp/child-and-adult-care-food-program ).
Keystone Stars is an initiative to raising the quality of Childcare Centers in Pennsylvania. Keystone provides centers with higher quality standards to meet .Keystone Stars is an ongoing process in which centers must meet and maintain eligibility for designation of a Star 1-4. It can be described as a rating system not unlike those of restaurants or hotels; the higher the star the higher the quality.
The CACFP is governed by the US Department of Agriculture. The CACFP provides healthy meal standards and requirements for enrolled centers. As part of this program we ask parents to complete an enrollment document at the time of registration and annually. The CACFP provides us with funding to purchase or contract with a meal vendor to provide nutritious and portioned meals.
We provide Breakfast, AM Snack, Lunch, and PM Snack for all children at no additional costs to the families. This includes providing formula and infant foods.
