On November 19, 2014, President Obama signed into the law the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014. The law reauthorizes the CCCDF and made advances by defining health and safety requirements for child care providers, outlining eligibility policies, and ensuring parents and the general public have transparent information about child care choices. Each state is required to submit a state CCDF plan for implementation of the CCDBG. The office of Child Care recently released PDF copies of all approved fiscal year 2016-2018 CCDF plans. California’s CCDDF plan was created by the California Department of Education Early Education and Support Division. The plan outlines leadership of California’s state CCDBG plan, who was consulted in the development of California’s plan, and how funds are disbursed and tracked, financial assistance for families, and licensing.  The plan also outlines public-private partnerships supporting the states plan including coordination with local Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, family engagement strategies, and quality improvement systems, and much more.
