Why not serve up to food program standards and get reimbursed for at least a portion of what you pay out in food? It's not a lot of paperwork and not a whole lot of nutritional requirements and you can still deduct 100% of your food costs or use the standard deduction for the number of meals you served. Either way you still have more income coming in than without the food program and you have a marketing perk for parents because they'll know you are following the minimum nutritional requirements for the children in your care.

As for the requirements of food served on food program, each food program interprets the USDA rules a little bit differently but the meal patterns can be found at http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/care/pro...l_patterns.htm
