Add an Enrollment Form

Federal Regulation 7 CFR 226.15(e)(2) and (3) requires child care centers and family child care providers to collect documentation of enrollment that "must be updated annually, signed by a parent or legal guardian, and include information on each child's normal days and hours of care and the meals normally received while in care."


The information on the documentation of enrollment is stored on each participant's page while the normal days and hours of care and the meals normally received while in care are stored as the participant schedule.


My Food Program also stores the effective and expiration date of the enrollment form, which cannot be more than one year.
