(X) Policy Memo
May 21, 2007
TO: Sponsors of Family Day Care Homes
Child Enrollment Form Policy - Questions and Answers
The
enclosed document 
was created by the Oregon Department of Education Child Nutrition Programs (ODE CNP) to answer questions submitted by sponsors in response to the ODE CNP Child Enrollment Policy Modification memo dated April 17, 2007. All policies are based on Federal Regulations and policies issued by USDA Food and Nutrition Service. ODE CNP has not added any non-Federal requirements.
The requirement to annually collect CACFP Child Enrollment Forms is not new; however, the following are new requirements:
- Providers must complete Child Enrollment forms for their own children who are in care
- Providers must maintain copies of all child enrollment forms
- Routine child schedule changes do not require an updated child enrollment form
- The effective date for child enrollment forms is the latter of the two dates:
- first day of the month in which the form was signed by the parent or legal guardian; or
- date noted on the enrollment form for the child to begin care
ODE CNP staff will provide training on the Child Enrollment policy at the Family Day Care Home Sponsor Annual Training on May 29, 2007.
If you have questions concerning this memo, please contact Joe Grosso, Child Nutrition Specialist, at (503) 947-5897 or Lynne Reinoso, (503) 947-5892.
Sincerely,
Joyce Dougherty, Director
