Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG)

The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) is a federal program that provides funding to states to improve access to affordable child care services for low-income families. It aims to support early childhood development and ensure that children have a safe and supportive environment while their parents work or attend school. The grant allows states to provide financial assistance for child care costs, improve the quality of care, and promote professional development for child care providers. Ultimately, it helps families find and afford child care, fostering better outcomes for children’s growth and learning.
