Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>Newbie Question - Food Program
Mrs. CC 05:30 AM 10-27-2011
Ok, am reading the Tom Copeland book on record keeping as well as reading everything i can on the forum. I keep reading about the Food Program and I have searched in Google for it, but have not been able to find where I can sign up.
Is it a phone number I need to call? Is it an online thing? Please, I am sure this question is annoying, but I really can't find it.
Thank you!

The Food Program is run through sponsoring organizations - licensing depts in most states.
Contact your local daycare licensing office for your local food program sponsor

Thank you! That explains why I couldn't find a government website for it!

You could also call a couple of the daycare centers/homes in your area and most of the time they are happy to help you by telling you who their sponsor is. Also, they may give you an idea of how their food service inspector is or whatever you call them. Mine is great but I've heard there are some that aren't as friendly.
