Here at Lil Genies, we strive to make sure our students feel safe and cared for, but we also make sure that the parents feel that our place is a safe place for them as well. We understand that there are times of hardship and stress, but we want you to know we are for you as well as your children. If there are additional resources that you may need, please let us know and we will be happy to help.
The Childcare Assistance Program, also known as Subsidy, is a program that provides temporary assistance to low-income families to help in paying for childcare. If you are eligible to receive subsidy it can be used for general childcare, wrap-around care, summer programs, and after-school childcare if needed. The link to a brief survey is provided for you below to help you in checking your eligibility to receive childcare assistance. If you have any further questions about the CCAP program, feel free to contact us and we will help in any way we can.
