September 22 Child Care Provider Updates

Get Ready for September Child Care Counts Update/Application Week

The September Update/Application Week has been extended. The application will be open next week, September 26 – October 5. Prepare to update your child attendance and staff records and upload any needed documentation for the Count Weeks of Sept. 11-24 so you don’t miss out on any funding. See the Child Care Counts Calendar for future Count and Application Weeks.

Important Reminders

  • If you were approved for August funds, you must update your child and staff information during the next update/application period, September 26 – October 5, 2022.
  • If your August application is on hold (application status is “submitted”), you still must update your child and staff information during the next update/application period, September 26 – October 5, 2022.
  • Watch the How to Apply videos to view step-by-step instructions on how to submit your application. Review the Updating Your Child Care Counts Information During Update Week video to learn how to make application modifications during Update Week.
