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: Interested individuals can apply through the internet, via phone, or by visiting a local ODHS Self Sufficiency Branch Office in person.
Fees: As a subsidy program, ERDC requires that many families contribute to the child care expenses through a copayment, which varies based on family size and income.
