Who We Are

The financial lifeline for parents seeking child care support

Child Care Alternative Payment Program (APP) is more than a subsidy, the APP empowers families by facilitating tailored child care arrangements and directly disbursing payments to the selected child care providers. This program is designed to amplify parental choice, accommodating the unique needs of each family it serves.

At the heart of child care coordination lies the Resource and Referral (R&R) Program, a pivotal hub for child care and development services within specific geographic areas, be it a county, city, or community. R&R extends a comprehensive suite of services, such as licensure support, professional development opportunities, and networking, to licensed child care providers, family, friends, and neighbor (FFN) child care providers, and individuals aspiring to become licensed child care providers.
