Child Care Provider Rate Schedule

Payment rates are based on the child's age, type of provider chosen (e.g. licensed center, registered home, or legally exempt provider), and the number of authorized hours the child is in care. The rate established by CDD may be less than the provider's rate. In this case, even with a 100% benefit, the family may have to pay more (co-pay) to the provider.

Licensed Centers and Registered Home providers receive higher reimbursement rates (see below) if they are part of STep Ahead Recognition System (STARS), and/or are a Specialized Child Care Provider.

The below rates took effect on November 3, 2013, and indicate 100% financial assistance.
