How can the program help me as an in-home child care provider?
Increased Profits
Your profits will increase because you will no longer have to pay for all the costs for providing meals and snacks to your daycare children, and parents need not bring food into your child care home.
You will be reimbursed for meals you serve to the children (and your own children if you qualify for that benefit) under the age of 13.
Meal Planning Resources
You will receive guidance in
menu planning and information
about child care and development
through our biannual newsletters and annual training.
Networking Opportunities
You will meet providers just like you and exchange ideas about how important your role is in impacting your community by serving as a child care provider.
How much will I be Reimbursed?
Once you are in the program, you will receive a monthly check reimbursing you for the meals you served which met the USDA requirements. You can claim up to two meals and one snack per child per day. The rates of reimbursement this year (July 2018-June 2019) are:
Tier I Tier II
$1.31 $.48 – Breakfasts
$2.46 $1.48 – Lunches/Dinners
$.73 $.20 – Snacks
What type of records must I keep?

– Monthly menus which list meals that you serve
– A monthly invoice form which logs the dates, hours, and meals served to the children in your care
