Comprehensive Child Development Program (CCDP), 1990-1996 The Comprehensive Child Development Program (CCDP) was implemented as a result of the Comprehensive Child Development Act, originally enacted by Congress in 1988 in an effort to increase the educational potential of young children from low-income families and to decrease the likelihood that they would be caught in the cycle of poverty. The CCDP was designed to provide intensive, comprehensive, integrated, and continuous support services for children from low-income families from birth, or before, through their entrance into elementary school, to enhance their intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development. Additionally, the CCDP was designed to offer support services for parents and other household family members to enhance their life management skills and economic self-sufficiency. More than 4,000 families from 24 community-based program sites across the nation were randomly selected to participate in either experimental or control groups in the CCDP study. |
