The Department of Children and Families (DCF) is committed to keeping child care programs informed, so we have created a place where child care programs can view messages that have been sent on the Child Care Listserv.

The Department of Children and Families (DCF) Division of Early Care and Education (DECE) sends updates every Tuesday to everyone who has subscribed to the DCF Child Care listserv.

Please sign up to receive Child Care listserv/newsletter messages and announcements to stay informed about various DCF child care updates.
