In 2020, both the March 2020 federal CARES Act and the December 2020 Consolidated Appropriations Act-2021 appropriated additional supplemental Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) discretionary funding, providing states with additional funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19, and expanded flexibility to provide child care assistance to families and children. The 2020-2021 grant and scholarship programs outlined below support growth and sustainability of Arizona’s quality child care system, ensuring widespread access to quality child care across the state, providing support to low-income working families.
