The Child Care Food Program (CCFP) provides services to child care providers operating in-home day cares by providing reimbursements for meals and snacks served to children. To take part of this Program, day care providers must be licensed by the Department of Human Services or follow Alternate Approval procedures set forth by DHS and the CCFP.  Along with reimbursement for meals, we provide nutritional information, yearly training, and monitoring.

Our goal is to ensure children are regularly receiving nutritious meals.  This program was also established to offer financial assistance to encourage affordable day care.

Anyone who is licensed by TDHS to provide in-home day care may apply for the program by calling Sunny Dobbs at 423-292-4063.  Unlicensed childcare providers may also apply as an Alternatively Approved day care home.
