Federal Child Care and Development Block Grant funds help low-income families pay for the child care they need to work or go to school.
Eligibility is determined by the family's gross income and household size.
The program helps pay for child care for children under age 13 if their family's income is less than 150 percent of federal poverty level. The application that you receive will ask you to choose a provider. All providers must be at least 18 years old. If your child care provider would like to become licensed or registered with the Department of Social Services, have them contact their local Social Service or Job Service office. Fill out your application and send it to Child Care Services .
