  • Parents/Guardians are IL residents and
  • Parents/ Guardians are currently employed
  • Parents/Guardians are enrolled in approved education and training
  • Parents/Guardians are attending education or training activities including ESL, high school equivalence, GED, vocational training, and 2- and 4-year college degree programs.

CCR&R administers the Illinois Department of Human Service's (IDHS) Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) to families in southern Illinois. This program provides low-income, working families with access to quality, affordable child care. This child care allows them to continue working and/or complete their education. All families are required to cost-share on a sliding scale based on family size, and income.
