Child Care and Development Fund

The Child Care and Development Fund is a multibillion dollar Federal and State partnership administered by CCB to promote family economic self-sufficiency and to help children succeed in school and in life through affordable, high-quality early care and education and afterschool programs.

CCDF, along with the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program and related funding streams, provides more than $11 billion each year to States, Tribes, and Territories to enable low-income families to access quality child care, which in turn makes it possible for more parents to leave welfare and to achieve self-sufficiency. Nationally, more than 1.8 million children receive subsidized child care funded through CCDF each month.

Parental Choice – State child care programs serve most families through vouchers that allow parents to choose from a wide range of providers in the child care market. Parent choices cross a broad spectrum, from child care centers to relative caregivers.
