Overview
Allen County Job and Family Services publicly funded child care partially covers the cost of child care for eligible low to moderate income families.
Caretakers (parents) can choose from nearly 40 local providers and centers to find one that meets their specific needs. Providers are required to meet health, safety and training standards, ensuring parents and caregivers have access to safe, quality child care while they are at work or in school.
