February 12 2024- The Department of Early Learning and Care is inviting applications for the Baby Promise Program Rulemaking Committee (RAC). The Baby Promise Program provides free, high-quality early care and education for infants and toddlers from low-income families in Oregon. This publicly funded program utilizes Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) funds to subsidize slots in eligible early learning and care programs for families with children aged 6 weeks to 3 years in specific counties. The Department of Early Learning and Care is looking for diverse voices to join the Rulemaking Committee, representing families, Baby Promise early learning programs, child care resource and referral agencies, early learning hubs, and other community partners in the early learning system.
