Child Care Partnerships
The Child Care Executive Partnership Program (CCEP) was created by the Florida State Legislature in 1996 to help employers meet the needs of a growing segement of their workforce-working parents. The CCEP is designed to promote public private partnerships to ensure that the children of Florida are provided safe, high quality, developmentally appropriate and enriching child care while parents work to remain self-sufficient. This is done through:
- Encouraging private employers to participate in the future of this state by providing employee child care benefits.
- Encouraging private employers to explore innovative ways to assist employees to obtain quality child care.
- Expanding the availability of child care options for working families by providing incentives for employers to contribute to meeting the needs of their employee's families by matching public dollars available for child care.
