Stabilizing the Childcare Workforce — Step by Step
NCAF connects Workforce Onboarding, Stability Benefits access, and AI-Guided State Resources into one coordinated system.
The Challenge
The childcare workforce operates across fragmented systems:
- Licensing requirements
- Workforce registries
- Background checks
- Documentation tracking
- Benefits access gaps
- Administrative overload
Providers are asked to manage compliance, retention, and workforce stability — often without coordinated infrastructure.
The NCAF Framework
NCAF brings three core components into one structured workflow:
Workforce Onboarding
Structured intake, documentation tracking, eligibility signals, and guided compliance support.
Stability Benefits Access
Coordinated access to essential workforce benefits through vetted network partners.
AI State Resource Guide
Plain-language explanations and official state links — without replacing regulatory authority.

TRUST & BOUNDARY STATEMENT
NCAF coordinates onboarding workflows, benefits access pathways, and state resource guidance.
All licensing determinations, registry approvals, and background clearance decisions remain with official state and federal authorities.
