Child Care
Description
The ACF Child Care Bureau (CCB) is dedicated to enhancing the quality, affordability, and availability of child care for all families. The CCB administers the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Program to States, Territories, and Tribes to assist low-income families in accessing quality child care for children when parents work or participate in education or training.
The CCDF Program enables Child Care Lead Agencies to design comprehensive, integrated service delivery systems for child care assistance and quality improvement activities to meet the needs of low-income families. Region IX Child Care staff provide oversight, guidance, and technical assistance to States, Territories, and Tribes to assist with the administration and implementation of their CCDF Program.
