- Child care remains a top priority—and a significant financial investment—for many families. Fortunately, several financial assistance programs are available around the country to reduce the burden of child care tuition for parents while ensuring children have access to a high-quality early learning environment. These programs, available through military, state, federal, employer, and other channels provide essential support for families in need of affordable child care options.
