Dear Provider/Community Partner,
The Maryland State Department of Education is excited to announce our Child Care Provider Portal!
If you want the Child Care Scholarship (CCS) Program to continue payment for your active child care scholarship(s), you must immediately register to use the Child Care Provider Portal.
Use of the Child Care Provider Portal will streamline processes and allow you to track the status of your CCS customers. Effective November 20, 2023, do not mail, email, or fax documents to the CCS Program. All forms for the CCS Program must be uploaded and submitted through the Child Care Provider Portal.
You will be able to register on the Provider Portal starting October 2. The portal will be released in two phases. In the first phase, you will be able to register for an account, attach your program(s) and use the delegated admin functionality. In phase two, you will be able to access full portal functionality to submit invoices, attendance, program details and more.
If you have already registered for the Child Care Provider Portal, DO NOT REGISTER AGAIN!
How do I register for the Portal?
Steps to Register for an account:
- 1. Access the Child Care Provider Portal https://provider.childcareportals.org
