The 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 support affordable, quality child care for working families. It helps parents access reliable child care so they can work or train for jobs. The grant also funds improvements in child care quality, safety, and workforce training for providers. By investing in early childhood education, CCDBG aims to promote healthy development for children and economic stability for families, ensuring children receive safe, nurturing early learning experiences.
