• How it works

Do you need assistance to pay for child care for your infant, toddler, pre-schooler or school age child:

  • while you work?

  • while you look for work?

  • while attending training or school (high school and credits beyond high school sufficient to earn an associate degree)?

  • during a family crisis?

  • for a child's special needs?

Is your income just a little too high to qualify for assistance from Dane County?

The City of Madison Child Care Assistance Program can provide financial assistance on a sliding scale to help eligible parents pay for child care. 

City Tuition Assistance can only be spent in City Accredited Programs.  All City
Accredited programs must also be licensed by the State of Wisconsin as 
required by law.
