Child Day Care Contracts

OEC contracts with child day care (CDC) programs to allow them to serve families who meet income eligibility guidelines. These programs provide high-quality care, including:

• Full-time (and limited part-time/wraparound) child care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers 
• Before and after school care and summer care for school age children

Programs with Child Day Care Contracts:

• Primarily serve working families who make under 75% of the State Median Income
• Are licensed by OEC
• Are either accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) or are a Head Start program

Families contribute to the cost of care based on a sliding fee schedule set by OEC.
