How does the food program define infant? Is the food program definition different than the licensing definition?
CACFP purposes, an infant is a child who is less than one year of age. However, licensing defines an infant as a child who is less than two years of age. This means a child who is one and a half would not be an infant for the food program, but would be considered an infant by the licensors. The food program can only reimburse you for the number of children under the age of two (infants, defined by the state) for which your facility is licensed.
