Eligibility for Subsidy:

We have five types of programs with limited slots. In order to receive state subsidized child development services, families must meet at least one criterion in both “eligibility” and “need” areas for our General Child Care Services. Our Office staff will let you know if there is eligibility for one of our subsidized programs. Parents will then be required to provide all the proper documentation.

California State Preschool Program (CSPP)

Funded by California Department of Education – Child Development Division

Serves children 3-4 years of age. Children who are four years old and are entering kindergarten next year, have first priority. The family must be income eligible and enrollment ranking is determined by family size and income level. Children are required to attend all five days.

General Child Care Grant (CCTR)

Funded by California Department of Education – Child Development Division

Serves children 4 months through 36 months of age and 5 years old. The family must be income eligible and show proof of need (parents must be in training or working while child attends the Center).

Options

Gap funding for student parents that are eligible.

If you happen to be a TANF recipient, talk with your social worker for information on child care programs available through GAIN.
