If You Provide Food

[Meeko]

We are licensed for 16. And we are tier one due to the local school. Also...I have 6 "before school" kids who come very early, have breakfast and then leave before 8AM and before I get more kids. Then some little kids have left before they come home from school and have snack. So I don't go over 16 at any given time. Last year, my lowest food program deposit was around $900 as I closed between Christmas and New Years.

Just asked my hubby about the taxes to make sure......total USDA deposits for 2010 were $12,870. Get on tier one if you can! If your local school meets the criteria, you can be tier one regardless of how much your household earns. I just renewed my "income eligibility form" Just filled in names of the household. Didn't have to send in a tax return etc. as the name of the local school was stamped on the form. Signed, sealed, done! For once the government have made things EASIER!
