Paying for Child Care

Child Care Assistance and Referral may be able to help you with your child care expenses if:

Your family has a low income and needs care for children age birth to 12. Assistance with the cost of care for children with special needs through age 21 is also available.

Your child is eligible for Head Start or Early Head Start, which are national child development programs that serve low-income families with infants, toddlers or preschoolers, as well as expectant parents with low incomes.

Your child is enrolled in the Office for Children's School Age Child Care Program, which offers care before and after school, and during school vacations.
