Child Care Assistance Program
Child Care Assistance: 4Cs provides child care payment assistance to low income families via the CalWORKs Stages 1,2,3 and Alternative Payment Programs (APP). Our agency helps parents with child care referrals and makes payments to child care providers on their behalf. We work with families transitioning from welfare to work, low-income families, families in training programs leading to employment, and families referred from protective services. In 2020, the program collectively provided assistance to 3,278 children from 1,967 families in Oakland, San Leandro, San Lorenzo and other neighboring cities. Our caregivers and educators provided 4,554,481 hours of child care in safe, nurturing environments so parents can work or further their education to help their families thrive.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2020 – Jun 30, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$32.6MResource And Referral Program
