Child Care Assistance Program
In partnership with the Illinois Department of Human Services, Child Care Resource and Referral administers the Child Care Assistance Program known as CCAP. Our team helps support families and helps them with potential financial assistance. This assistance allows families to access high quality childcare programs for their children that they might not have been able to access.
This assistance also allows for more choices for parents to meet their childcare needs. The team processes new applications, re-determinations, change of information forms, and provider changes.
Over the last several years some new additions include; a 1-year approval rather than every 6 months, we now cover online classes, and a 90-day Initial Activity Search for parents trying to find a job.
We are available to both parents and providers through walk in hours, by telephone and by emailing assistance@childcarehelp.com. The CCAP team also helps providers with payment entry for their monthly billing certificates.
