Free Child Care Programs Free Daycare for Low Income

Februarys 18, 2022
     Each low income child care, pre-school and free child care has their own eligibility requirements, typically based upon income and your need of child care programs for low income families. These are thirteen low income child care assistance programs that offer day care programs for low income families for your childcare needs, not the actual childcare.

Call each free day care for low income and complete your enrollment in the program that offers the assistance you need, and then you will also need to complete an intake at the childcare center they are funding. In most cases a family is provided enrollment based upon need. The greater your need the more likely you are to receive childcare instead of being placed on a waiting list. For example, if you have a job beginning next week, then you have a greater need. Most programs will offer only a half day pre-school. A tip is to utilize two pre-schools consecutively to have a full day service for school or full time employment. We hope you find a daycare/child care that your family will enjoy.
