Administration for Children and Families Publishes Final Child Care and Development Fund Rule

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) published the final rule for the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) based on the 2014 Child Care and Development Block Grant Act (CCDBG). This final rule updates CCDF regulations for the first time since 1998.

The final rule includes final regulatory changes on ensuring the health and safety of children in care, helping parents make informed choices on access to quality care, providing equal access to stable, high-quality care for low-income children, and enhancing the quality of care and the early childhood workforce.
