HHS to take over administrative and technical duties for the child care program.
The Departments of Education and Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the Fiscal Year 2026 competition for the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) Program. The CCAMPIS Program offers on-campus child care for low-income parents participating in postsecondary education.
“Student parents often balance postsecondary education and caregiving responsibilities,” said Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education David Barker. “Through our partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services, we are supporting campus-based child care services that assist students in pursuing and completing their postsecondary education. HHS has the expertise needed to effectively manage this program.”
As a part of a series of interagency agreements made at the end of 2025, the federal health department will manage grant funds and supply technical support, facilitating the merging of the Education Department’s postsecondary programs with preexisting HHS programs.
Institutions must apply by the end of May.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Kennedy and HHS personnel to administer the CCAMPIS Program wisely.
- For Secretary McMahon and U.S. education officials as they review the applications for the grants.
