Send us a text

Georgia’s Childcare and Parent Services, or CAPS Program, provides scholarships to help with the cost of child care so parents can work or attend school. The program not only helps families navigate their children’s early years, but also connects families with resources to help them become self-sufficient. With many child care learning centers and family child care learning homes closed due to COVID-19, many CAPS families and providers have been impacted. Joining us to talk about CAPS and the impact of COVID-19 during the Public Health State of Emergency here in Georgia is Elisabetta Kasfir, Deputy Commissioner for the CAPS Program.
