FY 2006 : The Federal CCDF Quality Infant and Toddler Earmark is $187,802.

The funds are used in the following ways to enhance the North Dakota infant and toddler child care system (additional funds may be used to support these activities)*:
- Infant/Toddler Specialists & Child Care Health Consultants , which provide education on health and safety in the child care setting (through consultation and training workshops), and are involved in assessing environments using the ITERS.
- Support to CCR&R's Training Division for infant toddler provider training, including PITC.
- A lending library of books, resources and equipment for providers to borrow, located at CCR&Rs.
- Consumer education provided by CCR&Rs on choosing child care for infants and toddlers, which represents 50% of the calls they receive.
- Support to CCR&Rs in dissemination of child care information to the community.
*North Dakota reported these uses of the earmark funds in both the FY 2004 and the FY 2006 plan. |
