Wiyot Tribe

The Child Care Development Program operates in an effort to assist low income working families to make child care more affordable as well as improve the quality of the childcare they receive. To be eligible for the program the child must be an enrolled citizen of the Wiyot tribe, the parent must be working or attending school.

Unlicensed providers are required to be fingerprinted, TB tested, and CPR/First Aid trained for family providers and/or proof of licensure for licensed providers.  Failure to live up to the required standards will result in loss of funding.  All of the above items have been required standards which were not followed in previous years.  The AFC has been reorganized and part of that reorganization includes staff to assure program compliance. Failure to meet the minimum standards will result in loss of funding to the Tribe.  The United States department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families Children's Bureau has approved funding for the October, 1, 2007-September 30, 2009 award period.
