  3. Overview Shannon Rudisill Director Office of Child Care

  4. Vision: More children in low-income families able to access high quality care

  5. GOALS Building a Child Care Subsidy System that is child-focused, family friendly and fair to providers Ensuring the Health and Safety of Children Building Quality Rating and Improvement Systems Building Strong Professional Development and Workforce Initiatives Strengthening Program Integrity

  6. How does CCDF policy contribute? Child- Focused: Do your subsidies allow children to access child care that promotes optimal development and school readiness? Do your subsidies allow children to STAY in those services? How do your subsidy intake, consumer education, and case management work to help parents find and use those services?

  7. How does CCDF policy contribute? Family-Friendly: Do your processes and procedures “work” for working families? Do they work for families who speak languages other than English? Or families who are homeless? If families are eligible for multiple services, do we streamline our processes to make it easier to access them? Fair to Providers: If we are expecting more from providers, does our payment cover that cost? Do our practices reflect the practical realities of doing business (e.g. paying based on enrollment, allowing paid absences?)

  8. Where to start? Discuss your subsidy policies in light of your child development and school readiness goals Make changes to promote continuity and stability – see OCC’s Program Instruction on 12 month eligibility, job search Carefully evaluate the impact of proposed payment policies Introduce contracts back into your child care subsidy system Work on integration with other programs
