Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP)

Recipients

The Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) can help families with low income pay child care costs for all children age 12 and younger and for handicapped children ages 13 and 14.

CCAP Provider Registration

The CCAP requires that a child care provider be registered with the county in which the family receiving child care lives to be authorized to receive child care assistance payments. Clay County accepts and processes registrations for providers who serve CCAP families residing in Clay County.

If you want to be authorized in more than 1 county, you must register with each county.
