Re: Informal Providers
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide guidelines for day care home sponsors interested in adding informal providers to their sponsorship.
Informal Providers are providers that are enrolled with the Department of Family and Children Services (DFACS) to provide childcare services for children receiving childcare subsidy through the Child and Parent Services Division (CAPS). Informal providers may not care for more than 2 children for pay and may be relatives of the children in care.
DFAC and/or CAPS require providers to meet the following basic requirements prior to being approved to participate as an Informal Provider:
Must be 18 years of age or older
Successful Completion of a Criminal Records Check
Eight hours of Training of CAPS approved Health/Safety Training
Initial Home Inspection from ORS’ childcare licensing section
Face to face interview with DFACS Childcare Worker
Working Fire Extinguisher
Working Smoke Detector
CACFP sponsors interested in adding informal providers to their sponsorship must meet the following criteria:
Meet the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Performance Standards of financial viability, administrative capability, and program accountability as outlined in 7 C.F.R. § 226.6 (b)(18)(i)
Meet Federal Monitoring Standards and Requirements as outlined in 7 C.F.R. § 226.16 (b) (1)
Have an approved CACFP application and agreement for the current fiscal year with OSR to participate as a CACFP sponsor
CAFCP sponsors who are currently in seriously deficient status are unable to add day care home providers or informal providers to their sponsorship until their seriously deficient status has been rescinded.
