The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families is excited to offer a new program that provides selected benefits to individuals working in qualifying early care and education programs. This benefits program provides participants up to $55 per month to be used toward selected benefits such as dental, vision, telehealth, teletherapy, life insurance and more.
Parent Aware offers free tools and resources for families and child care and early education programs. It can help you find child care, options for affording care, and tools and tips to find the right program for your child.
Earlier this year, DCYF announced it would conduct additional on-site compliance checks to programs that participate in the Child Care Assistance Program. Find out more information.
