Title: ●Child Care and Development Fund Reforms to Support Child Development and Working Families 
Abstract: This proposed rule would provide the first comprehensive update of Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) regulations since 1998. It would make changes in five key areas: (1) Improving health and safety; (2) improving the quality of child care; (3) establishing family-friendly policies; (4) increasing State flexibility through select provisions; and (5) strengthening program integrity. The changes would update the regulations to reflect: current research and knowledge about the early care and education sector; State innovations in policies and practices over the past decade; and increased recognition that high quality child care both supports work for low-income parents and promotes children's learning and healthy development.
