Become part of a statewide initiative focused on strengthening the childcare workforce through shared standards and resources. Together, we can achieve long-term sustainability.

Step 1: Express your interest

Childcare centers interested in joining SCCIP can easily complete a short online form. We'll collect basic information such as your center's name, contact details, license status, enrollment capacity, staff size, and program type (e.g., center, home-based, faith-based). This helps us determine eligibility and initiate the onboarding process efficiently.

Step 2: Onboarding and agreement

Once eligibility is confirmed, centers will complete a Participation Agreement and undergo a program orientation, available virtually or in-person. During this stage, we'll review the bonus structure, reporting requirements, and compliance expectations to ensure a clear understanding of the partnership. We are committed to transparency and support throughout the process.
