I'm actually sending in my statement of registration paper today so hopefully I can open soon. How long did it take from the time you sent in your paper until the license came in the mail? I'm all set up and ready to go! There is actually a few sponsors you can go through in MI for the food program. I applied to the Kent Regional 4C, Their website is www.4Cchildcare.org. There is also the Grand Rapids Urban League www.grurbanleague.org. Sorry, I don't know how to put a link on here.? There may be more sponsors; each sponsor covers different counties so I'm not sure what others are for your county. Did you go to the required orientation? In the packet they give you, there is a paper on the CACFP family day care home sponsors. It lists all of the participating sponsors in MI. Also when you go on the website, there is info on how they reimburse you and the requirements for each tier.

I do the food program through Kent Regional 4C. Your/your husband's income only matters if you want to claim your own children. Otherwise the tier you are in depends on the school district you are in. I just assumed this was the same through any food program since it is done through the government, but I could be wrong

Good luck, your room looks great!

I just wanted to add to my thoughts that I do not claim my own children for the food program and I am paid the lower tier, and I still think it is worth it. I use the Minute Menu software that is offered through my food program for only $10 and it makes it easy, plus I can also use the software for my accounting.
