Afterschool Webinar:

The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) is an over $12 billion federal investment that helps states support the child care needs of working families with children up to age 13.

In 2024, new federal regulations required state-led agencies administering CCDF to use at least some grants and contracts to fund guaranteed child care slots, including in underserved areas.

Join us for a webinar to explore this policy change as an opportunity for afterschool providers to collaborate with state agencies, identify service gaps, and explore ways school-age programs can be included in funding opportunities to meet underserved needs.
