The Vermont Department for Children and Families (DCF), Child Development Division (CDD) is pleased to announce a new program to support child care, preschools, and afterschool programs with stabilization, expansion, and quality. Background: The 2023 Child Care and Early Childhood Education law (Act 76) created the Readiness Payment Program to support family child care homes, center-based child care and preschool programs, and afterschool programs to "get ready" for the expansion of the Child Care Financial Assistance Program (CCFAP) and other changes in Act 76. Programs have flexibility in how they use the payments to support stability, expansion, and quality. Providers and program leaders are encouraged to think strategically about how to invest these additional dollars to achieve their goals of serving children and families. (author abstract)
