Project CHILD administers the Illinois Department of Human Service’s (IDHS) Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) to families in Southern Illinois. This program provides low-income, working families with access to quality, affordable child care. This child care allows them to continue working and/or complete their education. All families are required to cost-share on a sliding scale based on family size, and income. See this year’s Income Guidelines in our Downloads sections.

A more complete explanation of CCAP eligibility can be found in the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) Policy Manual.
