Family Resources Newsletter – June 2021

Dear CDA Families,

As we continue on into summer and warmer weather, there are more people and things worth celebrating. This month our team would like to place the spotlight on all the Fathers and Father-figures who hold a special place in our lives. Father’s Day reminds us about the importance but also the challenges of fatherhood. Our understanding of what “family” means and looks like has continued to evolve.

The term father no longer solely applies to biological relationships. We have seen how other individuals in our lives can and have provided just as meaningful parent-child relationships. There is no one type of family where the child enjoys the healthiest father-child relationship, their capacity to love and build a bonding relationship goes far beyond the traditional family system. No one family is perfect, but we are grateful for the love, care, and presence from Father figures who have re-defined fatherhood for us.

The role of dad may look different from family-to-family and/or culture-to-culture, however, dads, like mothers, are pillars in the development of their children and their presence promotes inner strength and growth. Their positive and caring fathering has made and will continue to make a difference. Whether your Father figure is an Uncle, Grandfather, Friend, Cousin, neighbor, or in some cases your mother, we would like to say thank you.

As we celebrate this special day, for some very special people in our lives who we call father, remember that even if we have to celebrating physically distant, we hope that you are able to spend this day showing love and attention to them.

For all the love and care,

For all the moments shared,

For all the joys you brought,

For all the things you taught,

You have always made me glad,

Happy Father’s Day

Creative Ideas for Father’s Day to Make Dad Feel Extra-Special

  1. 13 Quarantine Father’s Day Ideas That Are So Creative – Best Life (bestlifeonline.com)
    Parents usually never take a day off, even when they are sick. Why not give them the day off, free from daily chores. Someone else can take care of the cooking and cleaning for that day. This will make them feel extra special and give them the much-needed break they deserve.
  2. Dads Corps – SAY San Diego
    The Dads Corps program is FREE and open to all fathers including Civilian Dads, Active Duty Dads, Veteran Dads, and Dads-To-Be!  Dad Corps provides fathers opportunities to thrive as “Parents, Partners, and Providers.”

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.
