DCF Childcare Assistance Information

We want to make sure all families are aware of the opportunity to apply for DCF (Department for Children and Families) Childcare Assistance.

This program can help significantly reduce the cost of childcare for qualifying families, and we strongly encourage every family to apply, even if you are unsure whether you will be approved.

Many families are surprised to find they qualify.

• Family of 4: $7,605/month (~$91,000/year)
• Family of 5: $8,822/month (~$105,000/year)

These are initial eligibility caps, meaning families at or below these amounts may qualify.

Why apply?
• Income limits are higher than many families expect
• Eligibility is based on multiple factors, not just income
• It can significantly reduce weekly childcare costs

1. Visit the Kansas DCF website:
