Dear Parents & Providers,
4Cs of Alameda County has received direction from the California Department of Education (CDE) Early Learning and Care Division (ELCD) in regards to the collection of family fees.
This letter is to notify you that CDE/ELCD has authorized us to waive the family fees for July and August 2020.
Do not pay your July family fees. If you have already paid your July family fees to your child care provider, you may ask them for a refund. Under direction from CDE, 4Cs is immediately suspending collection of any family fees for the month of August, and are notifying families and providers that the fees for July and August have been waived.
In addition, the agency will
not dis-enroll families for non-payment of family fees until further guidance is released from the CDE.
Th
is
guidance will address family fees for emergency child care, distance learning, reimbursing families for fees paid, reimbursing providers for fees not collected, and other issues.
We understand the seemingly continuous changes may be confusing and at times frustrating however, the legislators, CDE, and agencies across the state, including 4Cs of Alameda County, are all working together to support families during these extraordinary times. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding.
If you have any questions, please contact one of the agency representatives listed below:
