ABOUT

The mission of the Modoc Nation CCDF program is to protect the health and safety of Native American children in child care, help parents make informed consumer choices and access information to support child development, provide equal access to stable, high-quality child care for low-income children, and enhance the quality of child care and the early childhood workforce.

Our Impact

The Modoc Nation CCDF significantly impacts lives by providing essential support and resources. Through quality child care, educational programs, and cultural activities, it enhances child development and well-being. By offering financial assistance and vital services, it eases the burden on low-income families, allowing parents to work and pursue opportunities while ensuring their children are safe and nurtured. This support fosters a stronger, more resilient community, preserving cultural heritage and promoting a brighter future.

Community Driven

By involving community members in decision-making and offering culturally relevant programs and support, the CCDF ensures its services are tailored to benefit families directly. Through events, educational resources, and hands-on activities, the CCDF fosters a strong sense of community, preserves cultural heritage, and promotes collective well-being.

Meet Our Staff

The CCDF department is staffed by a diverse team of four individuals. Among them, there is one member from the Cherokee Nation and one from the Miami Nation. Additionally, two employees have spouses and children belonging to the Cherokee Nation, Miami Nation, and Seneca-Cayuga Nation, reflecting a rich blend of cultural backgrounds within the team.
