Questions

Questions

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

How do I apply for child care assistance in Kentucky?

Apply through the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), run by the Kentucky Division of Child Care. Income limits change each year, so check the current limits on the state's site.

Does a daycare that accepts assistance cost more?

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 Kentucky child care assistance office.
