The Office of Childhood Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) announced that all attendance and invoicing policies will be restored as outlined in Appendix A-Rules for Participation in the Subsidized Child Care Program in the Certified Provider Agreement. This includes the following:

  • Child care providers will indicate children’s absences on the monthly invoice as usual.

    • COVID Absences (“CA”) will no longer be used to indicate a COVID-19 related absence.

  • Absences will be tracked and counted towards the 40 days of absences for all children.

  • Children’s enrollment after five days of absence will be suspended until the child returns to care.

More information can be found in OCDEL’s full announcement.
