As a Child Care Provider,
How do I enroll?
In Arizona, you may participate in CCFP in
one of two ways. If you are a child care home provider,
relative child caregiver, respite care, or DES/DHS provider,
you are eligible to participate. A child care provider who
is not state-certified can participate in the food program
through Alternate Approval (AA), as long as you meet the
following requirements:
Alternate Approval
A health and fire inspection of your home must be completed.
Our office will make all the necessary arrangements.
A Department of Public Safety Class 1 or
Class 2 fingerprint clearance card must be obtained by the
provider.
Or
If you are State-certified, a copy of your
certificate from either the Arizons Department of Economic
Security (DES) or Department of Health Services (DHS) must
be submitted with your CCFP enrollment application.
