NoHo CARE Online User Guide
Program Setup Form
The Program Setup Form is used to maintain the program (funding source) information used throughout NoHo CARE.
The 4 character code (CSPP, C2AP,etc) for each program is set by CDE.
Important information regarding State Preschool (CSPP) Programs:
If you have both part day and full day CSPP programs, for proper family fee billing, you will need to create a separate program for each. They should both have a code of "CSPP". For the full day CSPP program, you will choose "CDE Subsidy" as the Family Fee Schedule. For the part day CSPP program, to prevent family fee billing, you will choose "Part Day CSPP" as the Family Fee Schedule.
Note: If you do not have "Part Day CSPP" as an option for the Family Fee Schedule, you will need to go to the Family Fee Schedule Setup Form to create a new fee schedule with all zeros entered.
Important information regarding Full Fee/Private Pay Programs in Agency Owned Centers:
Full fee/private pay programs are typically entered when an agency serves children that are not enrolled in subsidized programs and the family is paying the full cost of child care. To designate a program as full fee/private pay, select "Private/Full Fee" for the Family Fee Schedule field in the Program Setup Form.
The following data is stored on the Program Setup Form:

Applicable Setup and System Options
- For Provider Payment Programs only: The Max Age field on this page allows CARE Administrators to set the maximum age for enrollment in a particular program. There is a Limit by Max Age check box on the Special Need Setup Form that allows CARE Administrators to specify whether or not children with special needs can be enrolled past the program age limit.
- For Provider Payment Programs only: All provider garnishment transactions (credits and debits) will be posted to the program with a code of "GARN". If there isn't any program entered with "GARN" as the setup code, the system will assign the garnishment transactions to the program selected for the provider payment. If there is more than one program, the program with the lowest ID from the programs included in the provider payment will be used.
