Looking for Assistance Paying for Child Care Services?

Some families may be eligible for cost-assisted (subsidized) child care based on gross (before taxes) income and family size. See Schedule of Income Ceilings below to determine if you potentially qualify for enrollment.

Child care provider selection is a parental choice, for families who meet eligibility criteria and complete the enrollment process to determine the level of subsidized support. Once approved, families will have a portion or all of their child care costs paid directly to the child care provider by Riverside County Office of Education.
