Overview of the Child Care Bureau
The Child Care Bureau (CCB) is part of the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services. Organizationally, it is part of the Administration
on Children, Youth and Families, which is under the Administration
for Children and Families.
Child Care Bureau is dedicated to enhancing the quality, affordability,
and availability of child care for all families. The Child Care
Bureau administers federal funds to states, territories, and tribes
to assist low-income families in accessing quality child care for
children when the parents work or participate in education or training.
This is done mainly through the Child Care and Development Fund
(CCDF). Additional general information
on the Child Care Bureau and its programs is available.
