What child care center employees are eligible for participation? Can program directors who do not directly work with children qualify for a stipend?
Yes if they are not AB212 participants; Ab212 has different eligibility requirements. The target population of CARES is ECE staff including home-based, licensed and licensed-exempt FCC providers, FCC assistants, and center-based staff in public and private child care programs in California. In center-based programs, all teaching staff and administrative staff that directly supervise staff working with children and meet the qualifications are eligible, regardless of job title.
