Community Education and Provider Services (CEPS)

Community Education and Provider Service

Welcome to the Community Education and Provider Services Program. 

Community Education and Provider Services provides information, assistance and support to individuals interested in becoming Fairfax County-permitted Family Child Care providers. CEPS offers ongoing training and support to Family Child Care providers currently permitted to operate a home-based child care program in Fairfax County. 

Providers have access to additional resources including early childhood resources and the USDA Food Program. CEPS administers the USDA Child and Adult Food Care program which provides reimbursement to enrolled Family Child Care providers and Fairfax County-sponsored child care centers for healthy meals and snacks provided to children in care.

Families can connect to child care guides and information about quality care and assistance.
