Financial Help for Child Care Available

Financial Help for Child Care Available

San Diego County families can apply for financial assistance for child care while they work, look for a job or go to school through the San Diego County Centralized Eligibility List

Child care services can cost up to 50% of a family’s annual household budget; no family should have to choose between paying rent and child care.

Families can apply today to receive free or low-cost child care services.

How it works

  • Families must complete an application.
  • Applications will be served in priority order.
  • Families must meet needs, family size, and income eligibility.
  • Eligible families will receive a call from a subsidized child care agency for enrollment screening and to schedule an enrollment appointment.
  • Proof of family size, income, and need for child care services will be required to complete the enrollment appointment.

Have questions? Email the San Diego County Centralized Eligibility List team or call 800-521-0560.
