Go Kids administers state funded childcare programs. When there are openings, staff contact eligible families from the Go Kids Waiting List for enrollment. State guidelines require that the neediest family be served first. During the enrollment process, Go Kids requires parents to submit documentation regarding income, employment and/or training status and other important factors.

In addition, some programs are designed to serve only families who meet specific requirements. For example, Migrant programs are for seasonal agricultural workers only.

To qualify for assistance, families must be income eligible or have a referral from Child Protective Services. In addition, some programs require that the parent(s) be working, seeking employment, attending school/training, or be medically incapacitated to qualify

To get a list of providers in your area you may call your local Child Care Resource and Referral Office or visit this website HERE and search by city or zip code.
