Child Care & Development Block Grant Listening Sessions
The Child Care & Development Block Grant (CCDBG), which authorizes the Child Care & Development Fund in all states and territories, was reauthorized and signed into law in November, 2014. A new requirement included in the CCDBG law is that States must set standards for Group Size limits for specific age populations within child care settings.
In an effort to establish the Group Size standard, DES Child Care Administration (CCA) has scheduled two Listening Sessions, one in Tucson and one in Phoenix. These Sessions are designed as an outlet for DES to hear and collect comments, concerns and suggestions from child care providers, advocates, community partners, parents and other interested parties.
Read the CCDBG Act 11 4 2014, Group Size & Group Size Considerations.

National League of Cities: Municipal Leadership for Summer Survey
The National League of Cities (NLC) Institute for Youth, Education, and Families is currently researching the role municipalities are playing to support summer learning. Their survey will gather information on unique city practices, partnerships, and municipal investment in summer learning .
NLC will select 12 cities from the survey respondents to participate in an invitation-only Leadership Academy on Building Citywide Systems of Summer Learning in December 2015. In addition, respondents have a chance to win $100 donated to an afterschool or summer program of their choice!
They need and appreciate your help to capture examples of municipal leadership for summer learning so that they can raise the visibility of the roles cities play to address the needs of children and youth during the summer months.
