Purpose
The Idaho Child Care Program Advisory Panel assists the Department of Health and Welfare in promoting the continuous improvement of the services provided by the Idaho Child Care Program. The Panel consists of up to 25 Idaho Child Care Program Stakeholders. Collectively, these individuals — parents and providers, educators and advocates — bring a variety of perspectives together to collaboratively develop recommendations to the Department about the Idaho Child Care Program. The Department uses these recommendations in planning and prioritizing the future direction of the Program. Among their most instrumental recommendations was the development for the scope and purpose of a statewide Professional Development System — known as Idaho State Training and Registry System — IdahoSTARS. Panel members use consensus-based processes in the development of recommendations or advise that they offer the Department. Details about their roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes are described in their Charter and Procedures. Questions or comments can be directed to: Genie Sue Weppner, ICCP Program Manager, Self-Reliance Programs Idaho Department of Health & Welfare P.O. Box 83720 Boise, ID 83720-0036 208-334-5656 weppnerg@idhw.state.id.us
