Save-the-Date: AIP Webinar on Using CCDF to Support a System of Quality Improvement for School-Age Care
Afterschool Investments invites Child Care Bureau and State staff, as well as other interested stakeholders to participate in our next webinar to be held on Wednesday, August 26th from 1:00pm to 2:30pm Eastern Time. Based on a forthcoming AIP publication, Using the Child Care and Development Fund to Support a System of Quality Improvement for School-Age Programs, the discussion will focus on how State child care administrators are using a systems framework to strengthen the quality of care for school-age children. CCDF administrators and other afterschool stakeholders interviewed for the publication will discuss their States' specific approaches to improving quality and offer considerations for policymakers in other States. Please see the Audio Conferences and Webinars page for a list of background materials for this event.
