childcare

For grads who are also parents, here are a few resources which you may find useful...

Childcare Resource and Referral Service The CCRS provides a host of services including a list of providers, a backup childcare service, and help for parents whose children have special needs.

DHS Child Care Program - This program provides assistance to low-income families who need help paying for childcare. Their website has a good tool for determining if you are eligible. One thing to note...they will only help cover the costs associated with childcare for the time that you are working. For example, if you are on a 50% appointment, if you are eligible, you can receive assistance paying for 20 hours of childcare per week.

If you know of any other resources for grads with children, please contact the GEO office (geo AT shout.net), and we will add it to this page. Thanks!
