Childcare Development Block Grant

The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) is a federal funding program that supports states in providing affordable, quality child care for working families. It helps improve child care safety, quality, and accessibility, ensuring children are in a healthy learning environment. The funds also assist families by offering subsidies so they can afford child care services. Overall, CCDBG aims to foster early childhood development, support parents’ employment, and strengthen the early childhood education system across the country.
