Edinburg Child Care, Inc., has been incorporated for over 20 years, is experienced in assisting home based and child care centers in the nutritional needs of their day care children.

FUNDING & ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARMENTS

US Department of Agriculture Funds the program. The Texas Department of Human Services and USDA administer this program under the Child and Adult Care Food Program guidelines.

In 1968 the Child Care Food Program was established by Congress. It integrated nutritious meals with organized child care services.

In turn the Texas Department of Human Services Special Nutrition Program administers the sponsorship through their eight-regional offices, statewide.

Day Care homes can only participate in the Program under a sponsoring organization such as ourselves.  However, Centers may select a sponsor or contract with the Texas Department of Agriculture.
