How do I apply for child care assistance in Nebraska?

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.

Most families pay a share called a copayment, set by the state. Apply through the Nebraska child care assistance office.
