For many families we serve, the holiday season brings added financial and emotional challenges. The Positive Change Giving Program exists to brighten this time of year with celebration, connection, and practical support.
Through the generosity of donors, staff, and volunteers, CDA hosts an annual Holiday Distribution Event for families enrolled in our Child Care Payment Program. This year marked our ninth annual celebration, serving 88 families.
Families are welcomed into a warm, festive event where they can:
These moments create lasting memories and remind families they are seen, valued, and supported.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed their time, resources, and generosity to make this celebration possible. Together, we uplift families, create meaningful moments of connection, and make lasting impact.
Your generosity helps us bring joy and support to families during the holidays and throughout the year.

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.
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.
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.
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.
