Features
The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) assists low-income families in obtaining child care so they can work or attend training/education. The program also fosters the quality of child care and promotes coordination among early childhood development and afterschool programs.
The Blueprint granted all three- and four-year-old children from families earning incomes at or below 300% Federal Poverty Level access to high-quality full-day Pre-K at no cost.
In early childhood, every child's journey is unique yet guided by common milestones. The Maryland Early Learning Standards serve as the compass, outlining the skills, concepts, and behaviors children typically acquire before their fourth birthday in a nurturing and enriching environment.
