The Child Care Initiative Project (CCIP) is designed to increase the supply of licensed, quality child care. The program recruits and trains family child care providers to help meet the great demand for child care services.

CCIP has targeted its recruitment and training to meet the changing child care needs of the parents served by Child Care Resources. This project enables Child Care Resources to provide training, technical support and financial incentives. Recruitment focuses on providers interested in infant/toddler and off-hour care.

Some of the incentives that Child Care Resources is able to provide or reimburse through CCIP include:

• Safety Equipment
• Diapering Equipment
• Memberships to professional organizations
• Children's Books
• Art Supplies

CCIP funding is dependent upon federal dollars from the Child Care Developmental Block Grant, through the California Department of Education, Child Development Division.
