DEPC Scholarship Program
Offers families opportunities for assistance with child care if they are working a minimum of 30 hours per week or in school full time. This program serves children birth to age 5 and it follows the same financial guidelines for income eligibility as the Department of Social Services. Families are required to pay parent fees on average of 10% of their gross income.
Please note: Children who are enrolled in pre-kindergarten programs, Head Start, or the Dept. of Social Services Child Care Subsidy Program are not eligible.
