DECAL Early Head Start Child Care Partnership
In July 2015, Georgia’s Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL) began serving young children and families through the Early Head Start – Child Care Partnership (EHS-CCP).
DECAL was awarded $3.5 million dollars per year for five years to serve as a grantee for the EHS-CCP.
The goals of the DECAL EHS-CCP include:
- Delivering comprehensive services to families.
- Creating early education hubs to support programs and meet Early Head Start (EHS) standards.
- Enhancing quality in the partnering child care programs to meet EHS standards.
- Monitoring the project and measuring improvements to access and quality.
- Revising the state’s child care subsidy policies to support EHS-CCPs statewide.
As a part of the grant requirements, the DECAL Early Head Start Partnership conducts an annual self-assessment and community assessment to review progress on the above goals. These reports will be posted below upon completion.
