CAPP - Alternative Payment Program

Overview

The CAPP Program provides child care services to families who the Imperial County Office of Education Early Care and Education Programs have determined to be eligible based on information derived from the CEL (Centralized Eligibility List). 

The CEL is a statewide mandated eligibility list which differs from a waiting list in that a family does not have a set “place in line”.  Children are selected for subsidized childcare based on eligibility requirements and other priorities such as family income and Child Protective Services. 

These priorities are determined by the California Department of Education (CDE).  A family’s rank may change because of their changing circumstances or the circumstances of other families on the list.  While time on the list is one factor, it is not the only one, nor is it the most important.
