This quarterly update provides key information on critical topics to support Tribal Lead Agencies in meeting CCDF final rule requirements.
Tribal Child Care Capacity Building Center
The Tribal Child Care Capacity Building Center, a service of the Office of Child Care, supports Tribal Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) grantees in meeting the requirements of the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 2014 and the 2016 CCDF Final Rule and to meet their goals to enhance the quality, affordability, and availability of child care in their Tribal communities. Universal, targeted, and intensive training and technical assistance services, including resource development, assist more than 539 Federally recognized Tribes, either directly or through Tribal consortia. The Tribal Child Care Capacity Building Center team is ready to work closely with Tribal CCDF grantees in their efforts to increase child care provider payment rates that align with the cost of operating a quality program, increase wages for child care staff, and improve child care supply in low-income areas. For Tribal Lead Agencies, the Tribal Child Care Capacity Building Center team provides technical assistance that respects, honors, retains, and builds on individual Tribal cultural identities and existing practices across all programs. To request training and technical assistance, reach out to your assigned Office of Child Care Regional Office to be connected to your Tribal Technical Assistance Specialist. Feel free to explore the resources available on our website. We look forward to serving Tribal CCDF grantees.
