We’ll automatically calculate your payment amount when you apply. We base it on data validated by OEC or 2-1-1 Child Care. If you’re interested in the details, you can learn about the formula below.
Step 1: Determine the base payment
Multiply the number of children allowed in your program (your licensed capacity) x $208. That’s your base payment.
| Example | $208 x 20 children (licensing capacity) = $4,160 base payment |
Step 2: If your program serves infants or toddlers, multiply by 1.5
Multiply the base payment (from step 1) by 1.5.
| Example | $4,160 x 1.5 (infant/toddler multiplier) = $6,240 |
If your program does not serve infants or toddlers, skip this step.
Step 3: If your program is a child care center or group child care home, multiply by 1.2
Take the number from step 2 and multiply it by 1.2. That’s your total payment.
| Example | $6,240 x 1.2 (center/group child care home multiplier) = $7,488 total payment |
If your program is not a child care center or group child care home, skip this step.
