CCDF Tribal Plan
Introduction
The CCDF Plan
To receive CCDF funds, Tribes must develop and submit a CCDF Plan to the Office of Child Care (OCC) every 3 years.
The completed CCDF Plan is the application Tribes use to apply for their block grant funding by providing a description of, and assurances about, the Lead Agency’s CCDF program and services
The CCDF Plan serves as a planning document for Tribes and is developed in collaboration with numerous partners and stakeholders to ensure that the CCDF program addresses the needs of families, providers, and communities over the 3-year Plan period
FY 2020-2022 CCDF Plans are the first in which Tribes are expected to be in full compliance with new requirements in the CCDBG Act of 2014 and the associated final rule

CCDF Tribal Plan
Training Overview
Training Vision
The CCDF Tribal Plan Preprint trainings
will bring together tribes, Office of Child
Care staff, and technical assistance
providers to prepare tribes to submit
their fiscal year (FY) 2020–2022 CCDF
Tribal Plans, which serve as their
application for CCDF funding.
National Center on Tribal Early Childhood Development 13
Training Goals
To review the FY 2020–2022 CCDF Tribal Plan Preprint, which is the first preprint that reflects both the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 2014 and the CCDF final rule
To help participants develop their tribe’s FY 2020–2022 CCDF Tribal Plan as an opportunity to describe how they deliver CCDF program services and activities to meet the needs of the children and families they serve
To provide an opportunity for tribes to interact with their peers and share ideas, strategies, culturally responsive practices, and lessons learned

A Tribe certifies the number of
Indian children under age 13
who reside within the Tribe’s
service area.

child count to calculate CCDF

Indian Child and Indian
Reservation or Service Area
Tribal CCDF programs are to
be carried out for the benefit
of Indian children living on or
near the Indian reservation or
service area.
Tribes must provide their
definitions of “Indian child”
and “service area” for the
purpose of determining CCDF
eligibility and completing a
child count. Child Care and Development Fund, 45 C.F.R. § 98.81(b)(2) (2016).
National Center on Tribal Early Childhood Development 22
Indian Child Definition
Tribal Lead Agencies have flexibility in defining “Indian child”
The definition must be limited to children from federally recognized Indian Tribes
It is often the case that the Tribal Lead Agency’s definition of “Indian child” will vary from the Tribe’s enrollment criteria
“Indian child” definitions may
include the following children:
Tribal members
Those whose membership is
pending
Those who are eligible for
membership
Children or descendants of
members
Adopted children, foster
children, and step-children of
members
National Center on Tribal Early Childhood Development 23
S M L
Examples of “Indian Child”
Definitions
A child under the age of 13 who is an enrolled member of the Tribe
A child under the age of 13 who has verifiable American Indian or Alaska Native ancestry as determined by the following:
Tribal enrollment
Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB)
Birth certificate documenting lineage or descent
National Center on Tribal Early Childhood Development 24
S M L
Indian Reservation or Service
Area
A Tribal Lead Agency’s service area must be “on or near the
reservation,” and therefore must be within a reasonably close
geographic proximity to the delineated borders of a Tribe's
reservation, with the exception of Alaska, California, and
Oklahoma.
Tribes that do not have reservations must establish service
areas within reasonably close geographic proximity to the
area where the Tribe's population resides.
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) will not
approve an entire state as a Tribal Lead Agency’s service
area.
National Center on Tribal Early Childhood Development 25
S M L
Examples of “Service Area”
Definitions
Living on or near the reservation, defined as within XX miles of the reservation.
Where the majority of the Tribal population resides, within the boundaries of Alpha, Bravo, or Charlie Counties, with the exception of the City of Delta, per a Memorandum of Agreement with the Delta Tribe.
National Center on Tribal Early Childhood Development 26
S M L
Child Count and Consortia
Tribal consortia must submit an individual child count declaration for each participating Tribe.
The consortium must also include a total child count that is the sum of the child counts for all participating Tribes.
If a consortium gains or loses one of its member organizations at any time, adjustments to the child count must be made accordingly.
S M L
National Center on Tribal Early Childhood Development 27
Adjacent or Overlapping
Service Areas
Tribal Lead Agencies may
not count any child who is
included in the child count
of another Tribal Lead
Agency.
Tribal Lead Agencies are
required to confer with
other Tribal Lead
Agencies with
overlapping or
neighboring service areas
to ensure unduplicated
child counts.
Strategies for coordinating with
Tribal Lead Agencies with
overlapping or neighboring
service areas include the
following:
Writing a letter
Sending a formal email
Conducting an in-person or
virtual meeting
Developing a memorandum
of understanding
S M L
National Center on Tribal Early Childhood Development 28
Example: Child Count Action
Steps for Overlapping Service
Areas
• Identify Tribal communities with overlapping service areas
• Identify contacts from neighboring Tribes
• Create a formal mechanism to confer with neighboring Tribes about overlapping service areas
• Develop written policies and procedures to address the process for obtaining the child count and methodology from neighboring Tribes
National Center on Tribal Early Childhood Development 29
Data Sources
It is imperative that the data used to conduct
the child count are valid and reliable.
Potential data sources could include, but are
not limited to
Tribal enrollment data,
Indian Health Service records,
U.S. Census data, and
school enrollment information.
National Center on Tribal Early Childhood Development 30
Poll: True or False
All of the following are reliable sources
for collecting data:
Tribal enrollment data
Tribal hospital or clinic data
Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) data
Federal census data
National Center on Tribal Early Childhood Development 31
Conduct Child Count
Tribes should have written policies and
procedures for conducting the child count.
Document your methodology, including
data sources and detailed calculation
steps.

Monitoring Requirements
Tribal Lead Agencies must have the following requirements for
health, safety, fire, monitoring, and inspection, by provider type:
Licensed or regulated CCDF providers require
one prelicensure inspection and
an annual unannounced inspection.
License-exempt CCDF providers require
an annual inspection.
Tribal Lead Agencies also have the option to describe an
alternative monitoring approach in their CCDF Plan and
provide adequate justification for the approach.
