Every three years, the Administration for Children and Families' Office of Child Care (OCC) requires states to submit a CCDF State Plan that describes how they will administer CCDF dollars in their state’s child care system. This includes all activities in Pennsylvania related to child care licensing, professional development, quality improvement, and subsidized child care.
