Child Care referrals and financial aid info
The website, created by the Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association, includes an online financial aid estimator. The site helps parents/caregivers estimate eligibility for tax credits, fee subsidies, scholarships and program options. It can also help users find a child care provider and give information on parenting education.
Employers will find information about offering child care benefits and offer a convenient, confidential information source for employees who are parents.
Child care providers can find out about grants and education scholarships and share them with parents.
