Child Care Program Office Broadcast: Focus on Child Care Grant Update & Provider Town Hall Meeting

May 24, 2024

The following broadcast was released by the Alaska Department of Health Child Care Program Office on April 23, 2024.

The Child Care Program Office (CCPO) is happy to share that the Focus on Child Care: Building Resilience Post-Pandemic grant has been finalized. Awards can be expected to be received between now and June 30, 2024. Grant amounts will be based on licensed capacity.

In addition, the Focus on Child Care grant formula includes a differential based on cost of living in different communities in Alaska. With this multiplier, you can expect to receive between $654.08 to $746.06 per child based on your community’s location.

More information on the Focus on Child Care grant can be found on the thread website:

We would like to invite providers statewide to participate in a town hall meeting on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
