CDMIS Updates

Updates to keep Child Development Management Information System (CDMIS) users informed of upcoming reporting changes and system improvements.

CDMIS Updates: Issues #27–35

Issue # 36: Released October 7, 2024

  • The effective date for submitting data to the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) Child Development Management Information System (CDMIS) has been updated. Starting November 5, 2024, all data for children enrolled in CDSS contract types, including Migrant Childcare and Development (CMIG), Migrant Alternative Payment Program (CMAP), General Child Care and Development (CCTR), Family Child Care Home Education Networks (CFCC), Alternative Payment Program (CAPP), CalWORKs Stage Two Child Care (C2AP), and CalWORKs Stage Three Child Care (C3AP), must be submitted to the CDSS Child Development Management information systems (CDMIS). This applies to reports with due dates on or after November 20, 2024, including the CDD-801A Report, Subsidized Provider Report (SPR), and CDD-801B Report. Agencies holding contracts with both the California Department of Education (CDE) and CDSS will be required to submit separate reports to the respective CDMIS systems for California State Preschool Program (CSPP) and CDSS contract types. All SPR and CDD-801B submissions will transition to the CDSS CDMIS, with the California Department of Education (CDE) CDMIS no longer used for these submissions.

Issue #35: Released July 24, 2024

  • The CDD-801A Report will include new “Attendance Status” data fields starting August 1, 2024, to record attendance for each program code. Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) (excluding community colleges) will submit CSPP data to the California Preschool Data Collection (CAPSDAC) system instead of CDMIS. The “Primary Language” field will become optional, and the SPR will now require reporting of subsidy amounts paid to each provider and will transition to a 10-digit Combined Contract Code. Starting October 9, 2024, data for children in CDSS contracts must be submitted to the CDSS CDMIS.
