The CalWORKs Child Care Program is designed to provide transitional child care funding for students who are in the process of securing child care from the county.

Students are required to select a child care provider for either off or on-campus child care, which includes both licensed facilities and in-home licensed care. Non-licensed providers may also qualify, as long as certain requirements are met. Due to the fact that funding is limited, students are required to initiate the process for securing county child care funding as soon as possible. Providers are paid via a voucher system.
