The State, including the District of Columbia, or U.S. Territory as applicable, administers this program. Public and nonprofit private school of high school grade or under, and public and private nonprofit residential and nonresidential child care institutions, except Job Corps centers, may participate in this program upon request if they do not participate in a meal service program authorized under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act or the Child Nutrition Act of 1966. This generally includes nonprofit nursery schools, child care centers, settlement houses and summer camps. Schools with split session kindergarten and pre-kindergarten programs can receive subsidies for milk served to children in the split session kindergartens and pre-kindergartens that do not have access to another meal service program operating in the school. All schools and child care institutions that participate must agree to operate this program on a nonprofit basis for all children without regard to race, sex, color, national origin, age or disability.

All children enrolled in participating schools and institutions who do not have access to other Child Nutrition Programs, may participate in this program.
