Child Care Initiative Project (CCIP) is a statewide initiative to build the supply and improve the quality of licensed family child care homes. The program recruits, trains, and retains licensed family child care homes within our service area.  

CCIP participants include one or more of the following: 

• License-Exempt: Family Friend Neighbor (FFN), Caregivers/Nannies, caring for children whose families receive child care subsidies
• Licensed Family Child Care Home (FCCH) Providers
• Individuals interested in becoming a FCCH Provider who are working towards licensure or expanding capacity
