About this resource

The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) provides financial assistance for child care to families who are employed, enrolled in school, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), which includes coverage for registration fees.

Application Process: Individuals can apply through online platforms, by telephone, or by visiting a nearby ODHS Self Sufficiency Branch Office.
