Child Care & Development Fund (CCDF) Plan for Florida
The Division of Early Learning (DEL) is the lead agency responsible for developing the CCDF State Plan. The School Readiness Program is funded primarily by CCDF. Each state must submit detailed information regarding how the state ensures the affordability, availability and quality of child care.
The CCDF State Plan for 2025-2027 (PDF) will be effective October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2027.
CCDF Waiver
The Administration for Children and Families, Office of Child Care, granted DEL's request for transitional and legislative waivers. These waivers provide additional time for Florida to implement specificed provisions in the 2024 CCDF Final Rule.
