CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Delaware Child Development Child Care Assistance Program is designed to help American Indian families help themselves. It was established to provide families with quality child care assistance while parents are working, attending school, or in a certified training program.
Because these families have the assurance of child care assistance, they are able to maintain good work attendance and/or receive additional education/training. This makes it possible for the family income to increase and their quality of lifestyle to improve. The DCD Child Care Assistance Program has proven to be a needed and successful support program for American Indian families in our area.
