NEW: Training requirements for legally nonlicensed providers serving families receiving CCAP

Are you an adult or teen who takes care of children?

  1. Do you take care of your grandchildren, nieces, nephews, brothers or sisters or cousins while their parents work?
  2. Do you provide child care for a friend or neighbor’s child?

You are very important in the lives of those children.

You give them love.  You keep them safe.  You help them learn.
