Child Care Assistance
The Low-Income Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) helps eligible families with the costs of child care for children from birth to age 12 while the parents work toward self-sufficiency.
资格
To qualify for CCAP, families must meet eligibility requirements and 收入限制 and be involved in one of the following activities:
- Working or looking for a job
- Attending college or vocational school
- Enrolled in high school if under age 21
- Studying for a GED if under age 21
Parents must also pay a portion of the child care costs. Parental fees, program benefits, provider rates and program availability are subject to change.
Choosing a Provider
Each family can choose a child care provider that best meets their needs. CCAP will pay the provider directly for times when the parent is at the approved activity. Arapahoe County Department of 人类服务 will conduct background checks on providers.
