This map displays licensed and license-exempt providers accepting CDC Scholarships from October 2024 through September 2025. License-exempt provider data from the CDC are based on monthly data pulls during this period, while licensed provider data are updated daily from the Child Care Hub Information Records Portal (CCHIRP) maintained by Michigan’s Child Care Licensing Bureau. You can also view how CDC scholarship usage varies across community characteristics. In the county view, the data chart shows the total amount of scholarship funding paid in each county for the most recent fiscal year available.
