The Child Care Program administers the child care assistance subsidy program, the ALL STARS quality rating system, as well as a professional development framework for child care providers. The primary funding services for the program include the federal Child Care Development Fund, state General Fund and Tobacco Settlement-Phase I funds.
The Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) was created by Congress in August 1996 as part of the federal welfare reform legislation. Child care services delivered through CCDF are designed to promote, expand, and improve the quality of care for children in Kentucky and ensure that families most in need are aware of and have access to available, quality child care which is developmentally appropriate, affordable, and safe. The Cabinet for Health and Family Services' approach to service delivery combines the efforts of Cabinet staff and other service providers to address a family's needs in a comprehensive fashion thereby maximizing the likelihood that a family will achieve positive outcomes. The Division of Child Care (DCC) serves Kentucky's most vulnerable children prioritizing children receiving child protective or preventive services, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients and persons transitioning off TANF, children with special needs, families experiencing homelessness, and teen parents. Children of low income working families are also eligible for child care assistance.
