Register for the Webinar Online.

This Office of Child Care (OCC) webinar provides an overview of the FY 2025-2027 CCDF Plan Preprint for States and Territories, which was released for a 30-day public comment period on January 22, 2024.

Presenters will describe OCC’s approach to refining the Plan Preprint and how the current version reflects the needs expressed by grantees and the public, plus other key child care policy priorities. The webinar is intended for CCDF Lead Agency representatives as well as other state and national partners.

The Plan Preprint requires Lead Agencies to describe how they effectively administer the CCDF program to meet the needs of children and families in alignment with CCDF requirements. OCC has refined and restructured the FY 2025-2027 CCDF Plan Preprint to do the following:

• Reduce the burden on Lead Agencies by asking fewer and more direct questions; simplifying question structure; and aligning purpose and information collection across the Plan, monitoring, and other reporting requirements 
• Prioritize and highlight key child care policy priorities
• Provide a mechanism for States and Territories to communicate their implementation action plans to address areas of non-compliances  

Public comments on the Plan Preprint are due on February 21, 2024.
