West Central Child Care Connection
Program Description
The Illinois Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) makes it possible for families and guardians who qualify to receive financial help. The program pays for child care costs so that parents or guardians can work, attend school, or training. All families pay a portion of the cost of child care as a co-payment. The amount of the co-payment is based upon family size and income. Families can be approved for full-time, part-time or before and after school care.
