Registration Fee
A non-refundable registration fee is charged once a contract is approved. If you choose not to participate after approval, the registration fee will not be refunded.
Financial Assistance
If child care costs are a concern, help may be available through the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services – Child Care Assistance Program.
This statewide program can significantly reduce child care expenses for eligible families. When approved, the state often covers most—and in some cases nearly all—of the cost of care.
