    Here’s a quick snapshot of the latest resources and information we have today, April 24, 2020.

    All Programs

    Tips on Federal Support
    Tom Copeland and several others hosted a webinar for family child care providers yesterday focused on how to apply for federal financial support. The recorded webinar will help family child care providers understand the new federal relief options and then translate the policy to practice (e.g., screenshots about how to fill out the SBA applications and translate related forms). Click here to find out more information and to see the links for the recorded webinar as well as the PowerPoint slides.

    In addition, here’s a resource that helps explain some of the federal options that may be available to all child care programs.

    CDA Deadlines Extended
    The Council for Professional Recognition is extending the CDA Renewal Amnesty Program to June 30. In addition, the Council has extended deadlines associated with application and verification visits. For more information on all these deadline extensions,  click here.
