Child Care for Low Income

Durham's Alliance for Child Care Access
Durham's Alliance for Child Care Access manages the vast majority of child care scholarships in Durham County. The Alliance is a collaboration of the Durham County Department of Social Services, Durham's Partnership for Children, Child Care Services Association and Operation Breakthrough Head Start. Funds for this subsidy program come from the federal government, the state of North Carolina, Smart Start, Triangle United Way, and other private sources. Child care assistance through Durham's Alliance For Child Care Access is primarily available to parents who are working. If you need child care to work, if your family is in crisis or if your child is developmentally delayed or has special needs, you may qualify for assistance. In some cases, parents attending community colleges or undergraduate schools are eligible. As soon as you know you will need child care and think that you may be eligible for assistance, you should call (919) 560-8300 or you can visit Durham's Alliance for Child Care Access at 2634 Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard in Durham. The Alliance is in Suite 120, right next to Child Care Services Association's Durham office.
