Child Care Subsidy Program

The CEDA Northwest Child Care Subsidy Program is designed for parents who are working full-time and have a child (or children) in day care. CEDA may be able to help pay for part of the childcare expenses. The program offers a subsidy for childcare payments to local licensed daycare providers for a limited time. After 6 months in the program, participants are evaluated to determine eligibility for future assistance. Families are responsible for finding their own providers.

Participants may be required to attend a 12-week self-sufficiency skills seminar that covers: budget/spending choices, checking accounts, understanding credit, handling credit problems, making money with money, avoiding money traps, understanding taxes, child support, mediation and conflict resolution, stress management, parenting issues and career development. Must be a US Citizen or a legal resident.
