Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act of 2025

This bill would boost meal and snack funding in the Child and Adult Care Food Program. It adds 10 cents more for each meal and each supplement served, with the amount adjusted for inflation over time. The increase would start on the first day of the first month after the bill becomes law. It also makes small fixes to program wording and cross-references.

Family or group day care home sponsoring organizations would follow updated reimbursement rules, and the new 10-cent add-on would apply to the meals and supplements they support, too.

• Who is affected: Child care and adult day care providers in the program, family or group day care home sponsors, and the children and adults they serve.
• What changes: An extra 10 cents per meal and snack, adjusted for inflation; minor wording and reference updates to the program rules.
• When: Starting the first day of the first month after it becomes law.
