Help Paying for Child Care

Children’s Council offers a variety of financial assistance programs that may partially or completely cover the costs of care for children from birth until the age of 13* (for state funded programs only).  

The first step in this process is to assess if you are income eligible for financial assistance.  Our Child Care Financial Assistance Eligibility Calculator will help you to determine if you are eligible for child care financial assistance and guide you through next steps for a successful application. 

Or you can speak directly to one of our Resource & Referral teammates by calling us at 415.343.3300 or email rr@childrenscouncil.org, who can help to determine if you are income eligible for child care financial assistance.
