Snacks for Children in After School Care
Snacks can be a part of the
after-school care programs. The William F. Goodling Child Nutrition and WIC
Reauthorization Amendments Act of 1998, also known as Public Law 105-336,
contained a section that allows snacks to be claimed for reimbursement in
certain instances. Implementation policies and regulations have been issued.
The snack is included as part of the current agreement. Agencies that are
considering participation in snack meal service for children in after-school
care situations can call Child and Adult Nutrition Services (CANS) at (605)
773-3413, or may reply from this site via e-mail. Two snack options have
been offered.
