ChildCare Commitment provides financial support for licensed childcare and early education expenses for children from low-income families. Eligible families may receive 40% of the annual cost of childcare and early education for one child per family, up to a maximum of $2,688 for one year. ChildCare Commitment is a one-time award for a period of twelve months.

ChildCare Commitment awards are distributed as funds become available on a statewide basis with priority to regions experiencing higher poverty levels. Applicants are added to the waiting list upon receipt of a completed pre-application form. When funds become available, the full program application and instructions will be mailed to the applicant.
