Resources & Information Related to Good Start, Grow Smart

This document is also available in PDF (1.19 MB) and Word (101 KB) format.

How can I find out what my State is doing related to GSGS?

Each State and Territory submitted a State Plan in July 2003 that described what they were doing or planned to do in the three priority areas of GSGS. The Child Care and Development Fund Reports FY 2004–2005 summary document contains information on your State and national summaries on a number of components of child care funding. This report is available on the Web at: http://nccic.acf.hhs.gov/pubs/
stateplan/index.html. Also, see the “State Contacts” section in this document.
