Collaborative Development
The Cape portal is a collaborative effort among KCCTO; Child Care Aware of Kansas; and early childhood state agencies including the Kansas Children’s Cabinet and Trust Fund, Kansas Department for Children and Families, Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), and Kansas State Department of Education. KDHE is the State Lead. “Cape represents another step forward in cementing the expertise of our early childhood workforce in Kansas. Our early childhood care and educators have long deserved a platform to empower their personal and professional development. We are proud of our collaboration with our many partners and providers and are especially proud of KCCTO’s commitment to making this a reality,” said Derik Flerlage, KDHE Bureau of Family Health Director.
