Childcare Food Service
At ACAW Childcare Food Service, we understand how valuable your time is. That’s why we deliver freshly prepared, nutritious meals every day—hot and ready to serve—so you and your staff can spend less time in the kitchen and more time engaging with the children. Every meal is made with care, using high-quality ingredients, and we follow strict safety and sanitation protocols to ensure your food is free of harmful contaminants. Our team is deeply committed to supporting childcare centers with meals that are not only healthy and delicious, but also safe and reliable.
With ACAW, you can focus on what matters most—caring for children—while we take care of the food.
We have access to online services designed to streamline child enrollment and meal attendance tracking, which can significantly reduce organizational challenges within food programs.
In addition to BREAKFAST, LUNCH and SNACK at your request, ACAW Food Service will also provide your center with DINNER AND SNACK for all your AFTER-SCHOOL students.
Our goal is for all of your students to go home happy, not hungry.

OUR PROMISE TO YOU
What Makes Us Different
We recognize that all childcare centers operate differently, with varying sizes and unique needs. Our approach involves interviewing each of our directors to understand these specific requirements, allowing us to tailor a system that effectively services your center. We dedicate a significant amount of time attending food service conferences, exhibitions, and workshops. Our CEO also networks to integrate the latest findings, products, and guidelines that impact children's brain health and nutrition. These efforts ensure we remain at the forefront of nutritional strategies.
Our primary aim is to alleviate the time your teachers spend in the kitchen, ensuring that each child enjoys satisfying and nutritious meals.
Why We Care
Given our CEO's extensive background in Early Childhood Education and Management, along with more than 15 years of experience owning a daycare, she deeply understands the daily challenges your childcare team faces. To address these demands, we have implemented a full-service system designed to enhance your food program. Our relationships with local vendors and farmers reflect the same values we place on the nutritional importance of children’s health. These relationships are incredibly important to us, and we are grateful for their continued partnership.
We are committed to following nutritional guidelines, and we strive to create meals that are not only nutritious but also appealing. We prioritize your needs and are dedicated to taking meaningful action based on your feedback.
Try Our Meals For A Day
ACAW Food Service is pleased to offer your childcare center and staff a complimentary lunch service, providing a firsthand experience of our food service. This will allow you to observe the professionalism of our drivers, the efficiency of our equipment, and the exceptional quality of our lunches.
