CDMIS Support
Technical support for the Child Development Management Information System (CDMIS).While the California Department of Education continues to operate the California State Preschool Program, the Early Childhood Development Act of 2020 (Senate Bill (SB) 98, Chapter 24, Statutes of 2020) authorized the transfer of many childcare programs from the California Department of Education to the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) effective July 1, 2021. The content on this page may include programs that have moved to CDSS. For additional assistance you can either visit the CDSS Child Care Transition web page
or call 1-833-559-2420 for more information.
California must report information to the federal government on subsidized child care and development programs to receive federal matching grant funds, and to comply with state- and federally-mandated reporting requirements. The California Department of Education, Early Learning and Care Division (CDE, ELCD) developed the CDD-801A Monthly Child Care Population Report (CDD-801A) and CDD-801B Monthly Sample Report (CDD-801B) to meet these requirements. The information collected from the CDD-801A and CDD-801B is used by state and federal legislators to develop public policy for child care and development services in California, and to request increased funds to expand child care availability in unserved and underserved areas.
The CDD-801A and CDD-801B are submitted by ELCD-contracted agencies to the ELCD via the Child Development Management Information System (CDMIS). Current ELCD-contracted agencies can log on to the CDMIS to fulfill their reporting requirements as well as to maintain and update their administrative information with the ELCD.
