The
Comprehensive Approaches to Raising Education
Standards (CARES)
Program was launched in FY 00/01 as a
matching-fund program with 44 county
commissions. State Commission approval for CARES
funding concluded in December 2009. On April 21,
2010, the State Commission approved up to $36
million in funding for
CARES
Plus for
three years (July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2013).
CARES Plus builds upon the positive impact of
the original CARES Program. It is designed to
increase the quality of early learning programs
for children 0 to 5 and their families by
supporting the education and preparation of an
effective, well-compensated, and diverse early
learning workforce. The “Plus” represents an
enhancement of earlier CARES components, such as
a strong focus on outcomes and accountability,
an expansion of the CARES Database to an Early
Learning Workforce Registry, and expanding the
Higher Education Plans to Higher Education
Quality Pathway Partnerships.
