Cost of Care
The cost of care varies depending on the type of care, the age of the child, the number of hours needing care and the individual child care program.
To assist families estimate what they can expect to pay for child care, ECCBC created an average cost of care report in Boulder County. This report is based on a survey of child care providers’ rates in Boulder County and is updated annually.
Helping with the Cost of Child Care:
The Colorado Child Care Assistance Program (CCCAP) provides financial assistance to eligible families who need child care assistance for children from birth to age 12. Visit www.boco.org/ChildCare for more information.
Families living in the City of Boulder who do not qualify for CCCAP may be eligible for a Child Care Subsidy (CCS). CCS benefits are paid through the City of Boulder Family Services. For further information please contact Gabriela López Ortega at LopezOrtegaG@bouldercolorado.gov or at 303-503-6012.
Head Start/Early Head Start Program promotes school readiness for children from income-qualifying families with children from birth to age five.
