The CCDF provides child care subsidies for 1.6 million children in low-income families each month and works to improve the quality of child care in states, territories, and tribes across the country.
“Early childhood development is a key priority for this administration,” said David A. Hansell, acting assistant secretary for children and families. “The creation of an Office of Child Care will strengthen the quality of child care and maximize the program’s effectiveness in achieving its dual goals of supporting employment for low-income families and promoting healthy development and school success for children.”
The OCC, which will replace the current Child Care Bureau, will elevate child care issues within ACF and facilitate direct collaboration with the Office of Head Start and other key agencies on a wide range of intersecting program and policy matters.
In addition to working with early childhood programs the OCC will work to expand the number of high quality early learning and school age care choices for working families, and continue to provide funding for states, territories and tribes to provide child care assistance to low-income families and improve the quality of child care.

UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Two events in Upper Lake will celebrate October as “National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”
Both will feature Cleavage Creek Wines, whose owner, Budge Brown, donates ten percent of all wine sales to breast cancer research.
The Blue Wing Saloon Restaurant is hosting the first event, a special winemaker dinner this Saturday evening, Oct. 2.
Budge Brown will be there along with several of the ladies featured on the labels of his wines.
Patrons that evening will be treated to an optional three course dinner designed to pair well with featured Cleavage Creek wines.
The restaurant will donate a further 10 percent of all bottle sales that evening.
The second event, also featuring Budge Brown and survivor models, will be held across Main Street at the Lake County Wine Studio from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, October 15.
Owner Susan Feiler will pour Cleavage Creek wines and serve a selection of appetizers paired to those wines. Photos by Eden Manus are on the walls in October and music by Majide will be in the background. Of the $15 admission price, Susan will donate one third to breast cancer research.
Budge Brown, also owner of Tulip Hill Wines in Nice, enjoyed 48 years of marriage with his wife Arlene.
When she lost her battle with breast cancer in 2005, he was determined to do whatever he could to help find a cure.
Brown purchased the Cleavage Creek wine label and released his first vintage of wines in 2007. A winery and tasting room are now under construction in Pope Valley, just east of Napa.
The Cleavage Creek look is distinctive and significant. The label on each bottle features the image of an actual breast cancer survivor whose story is told on the Cleavage Creek Web site.
“Putting a face on this disease and telling the stories of those who are dealing with it personalizes this and hopefully inspires everyone to take on the fight,” offers Brown.
Ten percent of the gross dollar amount of all wine sales is donated to cutting edge research to fight breast cancer. To date, Cleavage Creek and Budge Brown have donated over $72,000 to breast cancer causes.
“We had a great time hosting Budge and the ladies last October,” commented Blue Wing owner Bernie Butcher, “and we hope people will come by this Saturday, enjoy excellent food and wines – and help us make a small contribution to the fight against breast cancer.”
