Does Your Child Qualify for Tuition Assistance?
Tuition Assistance Programs
Louisiana's Department of Education offers three programs to help families with tuition assistance.
Louisiana’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) provides qualifying families with financial support for child care services. CCAP helps families, with a parent or legal guardian who is working or attending school or job training, pay for high-quality child care for children under the age of 13 or children with special needs up to age 18. Children in foster care and children experiencing homelessness (as per the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance program) may be categorically eligible for placement. CCAP pays for a significant portion of the child care costs, and families pay the difference charged by the provider.
Louisiana’s Child Care Assistance Program B-3 (CCAP B-3) provides qualifying families with financial support for child care services. CCAP B-3 helps families, with a parent or legal guardian who is working or attending school or job training, pay for high-quality child care for children ages Birth-Three years. Children in foster care may be categorically eligible for placement.
Nonpublic School Early Childhood Development Program (NSECD) provides pre-K programming to four-year-old's to qualifying families. Children in the NSECD program receive full day Pre-K. St. Tammany Ready Start Network has two NSECD participating child care centers: Children's College and Little Feet First (Old Spanish Trail location). To apply, contact the center directly.
