OCC encourages Tribal Lead Agencies to prioritize CCDF funds for the child care and early learning workforce. However, OCC has heard it is often difficult to raise staff wages in Tribally Operated Centers, to keep qualified staff, and to significantly increase provider payment rates for child care subsidies.

Every three years, CCDF Tribal Lead Agencies submit a self-certified count of Indian children in their service area, which OCC uses as the basis for their CCDF funding. The number of children included in the child count is used to determine the amount of CCDF funding a Tribal Nation receives for three fiscal years, and it cannot be changed within that three-year period after the triennial submission is approved by the Office of Child Care.

The purpose of the annual QPR is to capture state and territory progress on how CCDF quality funds were expended, including the activities funded and the measures used by states and territories to evaluate progress in improving the quality of child care programs and services for children from birth to age 13.  The annual data provided will be used to describe state and territory priorities and strategies to key stakeholders, including Congress, Federal, state and territory administrators, providers, parents, and the public.
