What it does

The state child care assistance (CCA) program assists lower-income families who meet certain requirements by reimbursing child care providers (providers) for child care provided to the children of the lower-income families. This bill defines “child care facility” as a child care center, a preschool, or a registered child development home. The bill defines “child care provider” as a person that provides child care and that is eligible to receive reimbursements from the CCA program. The bill defines “foster child” as a child receiving child foster care.
