Type III Child Care Centers
Type III Child Care Centers are early learning centers that directly or indirectly receive some state or federal funding to support the needs of publicly-funded children. Type III Child Care Centers accept Child Care Assistance (CCAP) AND Birth to Three funding. The Childcare Assistance Program (CCAP) helps make childcare affordable for low income, hard-working Louisiana families. These services are available to qualifying families of infants, toddlers, and Pre-K children. You can find more information about CCAPhere.
Birth to Three Funding is available to cover the cost of childcare in a qualifying Type III center. Complete our online application to see if your family is eligible for these funds to cover your cost of childcare.
