About this resource
The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) provides financial assistance for child care to families who are employed, enrolled in educational programs, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), covering costs such as registration fees.
Intake Process: Applications can be submitted online, via phone, or in person at a local ODHS Self-Sufficiency Branch Office. For further details and to access the income chart, please visit the website.
Costs: As a subsidy program, ERDC requires that many families contribute towards child care expenses through a copayment (copay), which varies based on family size and income.
