Abstract
The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) reauthorization aims to bring significant advancements to the child care subsidy program. This includes new attention focused on ensuring that subsidized families have access to stable high quality care. Under the CCDBG Implementation and Evaluation Planning Grant, the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) is in the process of reviewing its policies in response to this new focus. In particular, EEC is evaluating how to improve both the quality and stability of providers in their subsidy system.
