The Alaska Child Care Program Office (CCPO) is hosting a series of community engagement sessions throughout 2026, and they want to hear from you!
These sessions are an opportunity for providers, families, advocates, and community partners to share feedback, experiences, ideas, and suggestions related to Child Care Licensing, Child Care Assistance, Alaska Inclusive Child Care (Alaska IN!), and Child Care Grant Program regulations. Input gathered during these sessions will help inform and strengthen ongoing program changes and future regulatory development efforts.
You are encouraged to join the conversations most relevant to you and help shape the future of Alaska’s child care system.
For convenience, all community engagement sessions have the Teams meeting link below the date and time.
