Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) Information for Child Care Providers
Child care providers who accept financial assistance payments from CCAP are key to the success for families who are working and/or enrolled in an approved education and training program. Providers will need to complete the provider portion of the application or change of provider paperwork with the family. Whether the provider is a licensed or licensed exempt home or center they will be responsible for submitting paperwork in order to receive payment from the Office of the Comptroller.
