State Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) is available for child care, and determinations are made by State Intake Workers. For example, income and family size are some of the factors that help determine if a family is eligible for assistance. If qualifications are met, the worker helps a family complete a few simple forms to secure tuition assistance.
- Step One: Call the Children, Inc. program to find out about space availability and to work with the director about your specific child care needs.
- Step Two: Call the Child Care Council of Kentucky at 1-800-809-7076 and discuss the process for receiving State Child Care Assistance.
United Way child care tuition assistance is available for families who qualify based on income, family size, and other factors. Individuals must be working or in school. A family may qualify for State Assistance and for United Way assistance, with both funding sources applying funds to reduce the family's portion of the cost. Families who do not qualify for State funding may qualify for United Way funding.
- Step One: Call the Children, Inc. program to find out about space availability and to work with the director about your specific child care needs.
- Step Two: If enrolling at the Montessori Early Learning Academy, call the United Way tuition assistance office to begin the process of applying for United Way funded tuition assistance. For other centers, the director can help you determine assistance eligibility at the program level.
