CDA Provides Backpacks and School Supplies

Back-to-School Resource Fair

CDA kicked off the new school year by hosting its first Back-to-School Resource Fair last Saturday, August 19th at our Kearny Mesa office. Over 250 children and families enjoyed a memorable day of free and fun activities, including a giveaway of a backpack filled with school supplies, face painting, arts & crafts, raffles and prizes.



“Our first Back-to-School Resource Fair was nothing short of extraordinary. The fair not only provided family resources but also a sense of unity and support. What stood out to me the most was the sense of community from our dedicated team, passionate community partners, and all of the attendees. Most of all, I enjoyed seeing the smiles on children’s faces as they received their backpacks, filled with essential supplies and participating in all the different activities. It was truly a heartwarming reminder of the impact we can make when we come together as a community. I am inspired to continue our mission of encouraging and supporting the success and well-being of children, families, and child care community, knowing that through events like these, we are creating positive change that extends far and beyond. ” Jennifer Ordinario – Family Resources Supervisor

A big shout-out to our amazing donors and volunteers for their support and to our incredible community partners who joined the event to help provide access to resources and services to children, families, and child care providers.

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.
