Child Care Assistance Program

The child care assistance program provides child care assistance to eligible Native American families who live within the Chickasaw Nation service area.

The program permits parents to choose from a broad range of child care providers, including tribal child care centers, family child care providers, center-based child care centers, and relative providers. In order for the provider to receive payment, they must meet licensing requirements. Child care assistance serves hundreds of children and is open to Native American families only.
