If the parents still insist they are going to provide food tell them that since you are now on the food program you must feed them the required components. If they still insist give them the Federal guidelines to follow and they will decide it is too much trouble and stop sending food.

I see little people. -
Everyone signed on!! One of my dcms was so over the top excited she couldn't believe what I was saying... she asked me probably 15x if I was serious. (she's a young single mother who works 2 jobs). Bless her heart. And the one family who said previously that they would still pack if I joined has changed courses. Once I said I would be making things like pancakes and french toast at least once a week, she admitted that she only feeds dcg donuts in the am because she doesn't have time to cook. I'm really looking forward to starting this. Any one want to share their menu?

I can't get on the food program here, but if I could, they don't allow ANY child to bring food from home.
Still bummed I really need the financial aspect of the food program but unfortunately I can't be on the food program here.Comment

You probably already planned this, but prepare those food ahead of time and freeze them. They are not "left overs" since they were prepared for dc (some FP's don't allow leftovers) saves a ton of time!Everyone signed on!!

Be careful with this. For some a "left over" is defined as anything heated, cooled, and then re-heated OR anything from a previous meal that is served a second time. When I was licensed as a large facility we were not allowed to pre-make things like pancakes because they were cooked, frozen, and then re-heated and therefore considered a left over. As a family child care I am not required to follow those rules so I can do it now.Comment

Ok dumb question... How do I figure out what tier I would be?
I have looked everywhere but can't seem to find it...
might be user error

1. Live in a school attendance area where at least 50% or more of the enrolled children are eligible for a free or reduced priced lunch. If tiered by this method your tier will stay in place for five years.
2. OR, live in a tract/block where 50% or more of the children meet the income guidelines. (Identified as living in a "Pocket of poverty" from current census data.) If tiered by this method, your tier will stay in place until the next census information becomes available.
3. OR, be a provider whose total household income meets current income guidelines. This requires you to complete and return an Income Eligibility Application along with verification to support documented income. if tiered by this method, the tier will be in place for 12 months.
This is straight from my handbook (improper punctuation regarding parentheses and all).

Tier 1 here too thanks to our elementary school! I guess a lot of people were mad that people 3 blocks north were Tier 1 but we were Tier 2. I don't think the food program would be worth it at Tier 2...Comment
