With which programs should State Child Care Administrators coordinate? |
---|
SGS encourages States and Territories to coordinate funding and/or administration of at least four early childhood programs. A coordinated system of early care and education may include CCDF, Head Start, TANF, and public pre-k programs. Other early childhood programs also may be included, such as Tribal early childhood programs, faith-based early care and education programs, and before and after-school programs. |
