Child Development Care (CDC)
Do you work or attend school? Would you like help paying for childcare?
You may be eligible for the State of Michigan’s Child Development Care!
What is Child Development Care?
- Child Development Care (CDC) is a state assistance program that helps families afford high quality child care while they work or attend school.
- This program reimburses participating childcare providers for the hours your child is in care.
- To find a program that participates in CDC payments, visit www.GreatStarttoQuality.org .
- The CDC program pays higher reimbursement rates to licensed child care providers, including out-of-school time programs, with a 2-Star Rating or higher in Great Start to Quality. Additionally, children attending a 3, 4, or 5-Star program will not have a family contribution amount deducted.
