At the state level, the CCEP is administratively assigned to the Agency for Workforce Innovation. Funding is authorized by the Legislature through the AWI Office of Early Learning (AWI OEL). This federal funding is part of the Federal Child Care and Development Fund, a portion of which is dedicated to the CCEP Program. At the state level, the CCEP program is guided by a statewide board appointed by the Governor. The CCEP board is responsible for determining the program’s annual budget, distributing program funds to local early learning coalitions, and making policy decisions regarding the administration of the program. Additionally, the Office of Early Learning provides board staff support, marketing and technical assistance. At the local level, early learning coalitions make funding decisions, administer the program, manage contributions, and conduct eligibility determinations for families who wish to participate in the program.
