Paying For Child Care

The Child Care Financial Assistance program assists parents in paying for their child care while they are working or attending an approved education/training program. Eligibility and parent co-payment is based on annual income, family size and the number of children receiving child care.

How It Works

• Parent chooses a child care provider
• Parent obtains application
• Parent completes all areas of application pages 1 - 4
• Child care provider completes part of page 5 and all of page 6 of application
• Child care provider signs page 6 and parent signs page 7
• With the application, parents must include two (2) most current, consecutive pay stubs from all jobs and all income eligible adults in the household
• When pay stubs are not available due to new employment, a 4-C verification form may be used
• Students in education/training programs must include a current class schedule with their application
• High School students must include a letter from the school principal or guidance counselor with their application as proof of their enrollment
• Return completed application forms with the above wage information to 4-C via U.S. Postal Service or Fax
