Helping Hands, Inc. is a not for profit 501(c) 3 corporation. We serve approximately 350 family day care providers located throughout the Wasatch Front, from Ogden to Springville, Utah. At this time we do not accept day care providers from outside the state of Utah. We encourage all day care providers to take advantage of this wonderful program.
We accept all licensed providers and work with many ethnicities. We have staff members who are fluent in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and French. Under the oversight of the Utah State Office of Education we administer the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
CACFP reimburses participating day care homes for serving nutritious meals. Helping Hands, Inc. plays a critical role in supporting home day care providers through training, technical assistance, and monitoring. All family or group day care homes must come into this program under a sponsoring organization such as Helping Hands, Inc. In order to qualify for the CACFP the provider must be either a state licensed day care provider or a state certified provider. The day care provider must also attend annual training classes and maintain a safe, secure environment for the children.
So if you take care of your kids, nieces or nephews or even run a daycare this is definitely the way to go. It's a WIN WIN situation for everyone! The state of Utah will be happy that your kids are well fed, your kids will be happy that they're well fed and the best part is that you're happy your kids are taken care of and you'll have extra money in your pocket! YAY! It's an easy program to join and almost everyone qualifies. They are always looking for more people to join in... This is definitely a program worth looking in to!
