About this resource

Employment-related daycare (ERDC) assists working families with childcare expenses, including subsidy fees, which means families may have to contribute a portion of the costs known as a copayment. ERDC collaborates with partners to help families secure quality child care.

Intake Procedure: Families can walk in, call, or visit the website for further details.

Fees: As a subsidy program, ERDC requires many families to pay a portion of the childcare costs, referred to as a copayment (copay), with the amount varying based on family size and income.
