Important Update:
To Families Participating in the CCAP B-3 Seats Program:
The CCAP B-3 Seats Program is maintained through funds that are determined by the Louisiana Legislature each year. Therefore, the funding from year to year can change and for the upcoming year, beginning on July 1, 2024, the funding has been reduced.
The Department is working to ensure that children currently enrolled in the CCAP B-3 Seats Program as of June 30, 2024, will remain in the program.
Children who are currently enrolled will NOT be asked to leave the program or begin paying for care due to funding changes at this time. Please note, new enrollments in the CCAP B-3 Seats Program will not be accepted through at least September 30, 2024.
Your child’s enrollment in the CCAP B-3 Seats Program is guaranteed through at least September 30, 2024. You will be notified in the near future regarding enrollment plans beyond September 30, 2024. To give you and your family the best chances of remaining in the program, please ensure your child is present daily. In the case of an extended absence due to illness or emergency, communicate with your provider about your continued desire and need for care and when your child will return to care.
Please contact your child care provider with questions about next steps.
Sincerely,
The Office of Early Childhood Care and Education
