School Readiness

What is the School Readiness (SR) Program?

The SR program offers child care assistance to eligible families with children from birth to age 12. This support allows parents to work or attend school while ensuring their children receive early learning opportunities. Families contribute to the cost of care based on income, household size, and other qualifying factors.
