Hamilton County Job and Family Services’ Publicly Funded Child Care partially covers the cost of child care for eligible low- to moderate-income families. Caretakers (parents) are able to choose from nearly 1,500 providers and centers to find one that meets their specific needs. Providers are required to meet health, safety and training standards, ensuring parents and caregivers have access to safe, quality child care while they are in work or school. Ultimately, Child Care helps ensure children are safe while parents work toward financial stability.
Child Support is money required by law to be paid by one parent to another to help cover the costs of raising their children.
