Introduction
The federal Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) is administered by the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Child Care. The CCDF provides funding to State, Tribal, and Territory Lead Agencies to offer services to families through subsidized child care, to oversee the regulation of child care providers, and to implement activities that improve the quality of child care. The purpose of the CCDF is to increase the availability, affordability, and quality of child care services. States, tribes and territories receiving CCDF funds must prepare and submit to the federal government a plan detailing how these funds will be allocated and expended.
The Arizona Department of Economic Security is the designated Lead Agency for implementation of the CCDF State Plan that serves as the state and territory application for CCDF funds by providing a description of, and assurance about, the grantee’s child care program and all services available to eligible families. States and territories are required to post their submitted and final approved Plans, any Plan amendments, and any approved waivers on a publicly available website (45 CFR 98.14(d)).
