The Child Care Assistance program helps you pay a portion of your child care expenses each month. Eligibility is based on income and household size. The Child Care Assistance Program gives you the flexibility to choose a child care center, child care home, or care by a relative or other adult based on your family’s individual needs. And that helps you stay on the job, provide care for your children and save money.

Note: Family Fees of the child care cost are calculated on a sliding scale based on income and the number of children receiving care.
