Studies report a higher quality of food and beverages served and healthier mealtime behaviors in CACFP-participating programs than nonparticipants. However, there has been variability in the effectiveness of program compliance with CACFP guidelines suggesting a need to understand practice implementation and barriers nationally. Nebraska currently ranks fifth for childhood obesity in children aged 2−4 years. Furthermore, CACFP provides reimbursement for 86% of ECEs throughout the state. Therefore, this study aimed to determine differences by CACFP participation on nutrition requirements and best practices and barriers to implementing both, in Nebraska early care and education programs (ECEs) stratified by context (centers vs home-based ECEs).
