Wow. Just wow. Our tax dollars at work, eh?
Baby guppies are easy to keep as baby fish go, and that you don't have to worry. They don't eat much, but they do need to eat several times per day. Grind some fishfood flakes into a coarse flour between your fingers and give them a little every few hours. Change some water every day or two, and the more often you change the water, the more you can change at a time. Keeping the water clean will make them grow faster.
A sponge filter would be very handy, yes.
After a couple of weks you can start to gradually increase the size of the food. If you can get some brineshimp, these make great baby guppy food.
After a month or so you can put the babies back into the regular tank with no worries.
