You're invited to join the CCAP Provider Cohort
Child care providers registered with the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) are invited to join an upcoming cohort to give feedback on CCAP legislation ideas and policies. The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) is seeking up to 30 child care providers to join this online cohort. Interested child care providers should have knowledge of CCAP’s provider processes and be willing to share their thoughts and experiences about what supports CCAP providers need.
The cohort sessions will be led by a CCAP policy analyst and meet online three times over the next year. The cohort will discuss upcoming child care legislation and other related topics. Each online session will last between 60 - 90 minutes, and cohort members can choose between attending afternoon or evening sessions. Cohort members will receive a $25 Visa gift card after attending each session as a thank you for sharing their expertise.
