New Provisions in Proposed Child Care Regulations

On May 20, 2013, the Administration for Children Families (ACF) issued new proposed regulations governing the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) program. Public comments on the proposal are due by August 5, 2013.

The proposed rule represents the first comprehensive update to the CCDF regulations since they were issued in 1998. The new regulations would make significant changes to current regulations in four main areas:

  • Health and safety
  • “Family-friendly” policies
  • Child care quality
  • Program integrity
