How this list is made: Meridian daycares whose Idaho record says they accept child care subsidies, plus those that say they accept assistance. The Idaho license list we load does not record subsidies, so here this list has daycares that say they accept child care assistance. Accepting assistance says nothing about a daycare's own prices. A daycare without this tag may still accept assistance; ask.

Questions
Questions
How many daycares that accept child care assistance are in Meridian?
5 daycares that accept child care assistance are listed in Meridian. 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 Idaho?
Apply through the Idaho Child Care Program (ICCP), run by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. It is for working families with children under 13 (or older if the child has a disability) who need child care so parents can work, complete job training, or finish school, and who meet income requirements. 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 Idaho 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 Idaho?
Every listing here comes from the Idaho child care license records.
Which of these Meridian daycares post their prices?
2 of the 5 list tuition; their listings here show it. Ask the others for their rates and how assistance applies.
