REMEMBER… THIS IS UNOFFICIAL ADVICE. THIS GUIDANCE IS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND EXPERIENCES SHARED BY CCPP PROVIDERS.
FOR OFFICIAL RESPONSES AND LINKS, CONTACT DECCD.
The Standard Application required in order for you to be considered as a continuing CCPP provider was Emailed to providers in sets of alphabetical order.
If you have not received yours, first check the SPAM box in your Email account before contacting DECCD. That may save you some time.
You are encouraged to attend the trainings and orientation on how to complete the application and discuss curriculum samples provided by your Child Care Academy.
For additional technical assistance or to review other curriculum, visit your Child Care Academy!
A WEBINAR providing guidance on the Standard Application is required and made available to you with your application. The webinar, like the application requires Internet access.
You may view the webinar on your smart phone, ipad, lap top or desk top computer. Any device you choose to view the webinar is okay with MDHS.
If the MDHS system crashes on you as some providers have reported, send an Email to Candice Pittman or DECCD. (Develop a draft copy of your work just in case the system cannot recover it following a system crash.)
I have never seen a Comprehensive Application, so I do not know what the rules will be and it is not included in the CCPP Policy Manuel, but I think you have to first register as a Standard facility.
It has been my experience that the rules are being somewhat disclosed to providers as they are developed via Email so check your Email every day!
I do not know how or when the applications submitted will be scored or considered so I cannot answer those questions but you may call DECCD or visit the web site for more information as/when it becomes available.
GOOD LUCK!

[…] August – September, 2016, MDHS and NSPARC requested permission from the Office of Child Care to conduct a (alternative method) supplemental market rate survey to account for costs associated with administering curriculum and a self-assessment which would be the core of a Standard Child Care Application to be imposed on child care providers. (NSPARC developed the Standard Child Care Application and now provides administrative duties in its dreadful implementation although recently convened child care advocates and organization heads do not believe NSPARC’s services are funded by the CCDF and therefore, cannot actually identify Mimmo Parissi’s official CCDF role, his legal authority to implement CCDF rules or how he was chosen for a no bid contract with little or no expertise or experience in early learning. All noted that the CCDF requires all subcontractors and funding streams to be identified in the CCDF State Plan to ensure transparency and program accountability. Sadly, his application, curriculum and self-assessment were required and thrust upon providers without the needed resources to be provided in the payment rates increase he has just now proposed. Coincidently, sources close to the Child Care Academy report approximately half of all providers who completed the application have not yet been fully approved to continue to serve low-income children.
