The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) helps families who are working, in school, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) pay for child care, including registration fees. We also work with partners across the state to help families find and keep good child care.

ERDC is a subsidy program. This means some families still pay part of the child care cost. This is called a copayment (copay). Some, however, pay nothing at all.

When you are approved for ERDC, the Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) helps you pay for child care. Let your case worker know if you've chosen Kids Incorporated Learning Center.

  • You choose your child care provider. Make sure they are approved to receive ERDC payments before they start taking care of your child. Kids Inc is a PROUD ERDC partner and accepts ERDC benefits.
  • DELC pays part of your child care bill directly to your provider.
  • You pay a copay each month directly to your provider. The copay amount depends on your family size and income.
  • If your provider charges more than the maximum amount DELC will cover, you pay the additional cost.
