Cavity Free Kids

In 2001, Arcora Foundation developed Cavity Free Kids (CFK) to help Head Start providers teach children and their families about tooth decay and what they can do to prevent it. Since then this curriculum has been adapted for use in a variety of early learning settings – including child care, home visiting, libraries, children’s museums and play and learn groups. CFK is being used in Washington and throughout the country.
