About this resource

Employment-related daycare (ERDC) supports working families in covering childcare expenses, which may include subsidy fees. Families are typically responsible for a portion of the cost, known as a copayment. ERDC collaborates with various partners to assist families in locating high-quality childcare options.

Intake Procedure: - Submit an application online - Send the completed application via email (be cautious as information may not be secure without using a protected email) - Alternatively, mail, fax, or deliver the application to your local office. The application form is accessible in multiple languages including English, English Large Print, Spanish, Spanish Large Print, Arabic, Burmese, Nepali, Russian, Somali, and Vietnamese.

Fees: As a subsidy program, ERDC requires many families to contribute to childcare costs through copayments, which vary based on family size and income.
