USDA regulations require that child care participants notify their Food Program sponsors, in advance when:
their child care will be closed (example: vacation, illness etc.) excluding national holidays
they will be away from the child care with all the children during a meal service time as listed on their food program application (example: going to the park during lunch time or snack time)
Child Care Centers:
Please contact the Providers Choice Office to notify us of meal schedule changes and closures.
