Phoenix, Arizona - Governor Doug Ducey and the Arizona Department of Economic Security announced an additional $9 million in aid for child care providers throughout the state.
With this funding, Arizona will have allocated a total of $88 million in Child Care and Development Fund relief funding for the child care network, providers and families since the beginning of the pandemic, as appropriated through the 2020 CARES Act.
As the Arizona economy continues to strengthen and jobs grow, today’s funding for the Child Care Workforce Retention and Recruitment (CCWRR) Grant Program will be critical in ensuring child care is available for Arizonans reentering the workforce.

PHOENIX, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Governor Doug Ducey and the Arizona Department of Economic Security announced Friday an additional $9 million in aid for child care providers throughout the state. Parents and families need access to safe, reliable and high quality child care, especially as Arizonans go back to work and job opportunities expand, expressed Gov. Ducey. With the additional funding announced today, we’re making sure more working families have access to that care.
