Questions

Questions

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

19 daycares that accept child care assistance are listed in Kennesaw. 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 Georgia?

Apply through CAPS (Childcare and Parent Services), run by the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL). It is for Georgia families in a priority group with children age 12 or younger (or 17 or younger with qualifying special needs), where most parents work, go to school, or both. 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 Georgia 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 Georgia?

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

Which of these Kennesaw daycares post their prices?

1 of the 19 lists tuition; its listing here shows it. Ask the others for their rates and how assistance applies.
