Questions

Questions

How many daycares that accept child care assistance are in Bentonville?

39 daycares that accept child care assistance are listed in Bentonville. Accepting assistance says nothing about a daycare's own prices. A daycare without this tag may still accept assistance; ask.

How do I apply for child care assistance in Arkansas?

Apply through School Readiness Assistance, run by the Arkansas Department of Education, Office of Early Childhood. It is for low-income families where each adult works or attends school or training full time, with children from birth through age 12. Funds are limited and there is a waitlist, with priority for TANF, homeless and special-needs families. Income limits change each year, so check the current limits on the state's site.

Is there free daycare?

Some families can get it. Head Start and Early Head Start are free for children from families who qualify, and some states waive the family's share of the cost for the lowest incomes. Ask your state's child care assistance office what you qualify for.

Does a daycare that accepts assistance cost more?

Not by itself. Accepting assistance means the daycare takes payments from the state program; its own prices vary like any daycare's. Ask whether it charges more than the state pays, and how much you would pay.

How does child care assistance work?

Each state runs a child care assistance program, paid for in part by the federal Child Care and Development Fund. Families who qualify by income, and usually by working, looking for work or going to school, get help paying a daycare that accepts it; the help is often called a voucher or subsidy. Most families pay a share called a copayment, set by the state. Apply through the Arkansas child care assistance office.

Can I get free daycare?

Some families can. States may waive the copayment for families with the lowest incomes, and Head Start and Early Head Start are free for families who qualify. Ask your state's child care assistance office what you qualify for.

Are these daycares licensed in Arkansas?

Every listing here comes from the Arkansas child care license records.

Which of these Bentonville daycares post their prices?

1 of the 39 lists tuition; its listing here shows it. Ask the others for their rates and how assistance applies.
