Child Care Assistance

There are changes to the Child Care Assistance Program that start July 1, 2016. The changes will benefit children, families and child care providers. There is both a child care provider-specific and parent-specific video that provides information about the changes to the program.

DHS has created a ¼ page handout that providers can share with parents on the Child Care Assistance Program. This may be an easier way to share the information with families.
