More Details

Early Learning Resource Centers (ELRC) have sent all certified provider agreements via DocuSign or mailed them if requested by the certified child care provider.

Providers who participate in CCW must read and sign the updated agreement, indicating that they agree to follow all rules within the agreement and appendices. They must return the signed agreement to the ELRC by Wednesday, July 31.
