CDA Hosts Open House for Child Care Providers

On Thursday, September 8th, 2022 we invited child care providers participating in our Alternative Payment Program to our Bonita office for an in-person, after-hours Open House event. CDA Provider Specialists and Payment Analysts were available to help answer personalized questions, process Attendance Record documents, and offer CareConnect technical support.

During the event, child care providers also had the opportunity to learn about CDA’s Nutrition Program, which supports providers serve nutritious meals and snacks to children in their care. Our team was available to answer eligibility and reimbursement questions and provided healthy nutrition resources.

CDA’s Family Resource team was also available to provide valuable program and community resources, as well information about free virtual workshops.

Child care providers provide essential services to children and families in our community. We are honored to support over 3,000 child care providers through both of our programs and across six different counties.

We want to thank all of our child care providers for their dedication and support to create positive change in our community!

Call To Action

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

CDA Reimbursement Schedule
Family is authorized with a variable schedule

Variable schedules are reimbursed for the actual care hours provided that are within the hours authorized. The reimbursement will not exceed the amount billed by the provider or the full-time (FT) or part-time (PT) RMRC listed on the certificate for child care services. CDA will not reimburse for child absences, provider holiday or closure days on a variable schedule. If the full billed/invoiced amount is not paid, the parent is responsible for the difference directly to the provider.

Reimbursement of provider non-operation days/holidays

The number of reimbursable provider holidays and/or non-operation days is limited to a maximum of 10 days per fiscal year. Once these allowable limits are exceeded, reimbursement will be prorated for future closure days.

Reimbursement of registration fees, material fees, insurance fees

Fees for registration, material and/or insurance may be reimbursed if the current reimbursement amount does not exceed the Regional Market Rate Ceiling (RMRC). Reimbursement of these fees is limited to one (1) per child, per fiscal year and will be made in a single payment when requested on the child’s attendance record.

Note: For providers with programs that have multiple fees in one year or where it has been determined that the reimbursement amount exceeds the RMRC, the excess fees will be the responsibility of the parent.

License-Exempt Providers

When child care is authorized for a total of 25 or more hours per week the Full Time Weekly RMRC will be used. When child care is authorized for a total of less than 25 hours per week the Part Time RMRC will be used.
