Information for Parents
Child Care Program
The Seneca County Department of Job and Family Services Child Care Program determines eligibility for low income parents to have their child care costs partially paid by the agency. This allows parents to work, obtain training, or attend school while being assured that the children are cared for in a safe, quality environment.
Families choose whether to use licensed day care centers or in-home providers, and all parents have a required co-payment to assist with the cost of care. Eligibility is redetermined every six months.
