Alternative Payment Program

The Alternative Payment Program (APP) helps income-eligible families access affordable, high-quality child care by providing financial assistance to help cover the cost of child care services.

The program is designed to support families who are working, attending school or training, participating in an approved activity, or actively seeking employment. By reducing the financial burden of child care, the Alternative Payment Program allows parents and caregivers to pursue employment, education, and career opportunities while ensuring their children receive safe and reliable care.

Our staff works closely with families to determine eligibility, explain program requirements, and guide them through the enrollment process.
