Family Child Care Homes

The Child and Adult Care Food Program serves nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children who are enrolled for care at participating Family Day care Homes. The Program began in 1979 as a contractual Pilot program through the Maryland State Department of Human Resources, sponsored by the Baltimore City Department of Social Services, serving Family Child Care Homes and Child Day care Centers.

Effective October 1, 2011, The Family league of Baltimore city entered into agreement with Maryland State Department of Education to sponsor the Family Child Care Homes and assume administrative and financial responsibility for the Child Care Food program. Participating in the child and adult care food program sponsored by The Family League of Baltimore City allows children to eat a variety of nutritious foods, grow into their healthy weight and learn healthy attitudes about foods and nutrition.
