The Denver County Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) helps pay for child care for eligible families who are working, going to school, or looking for a job.
Families that live in Denver who are not current CCAP clients will be placed on a waitlist. To be placed on the Denver County CCAP waitlist, please call
720-944-1142.
Teen parents, TANF participants, and some children who are involved in child welfare cases are exempt from being placed on the waitlist; please call 720-944-1142 for more information.
Clients who are on the waitlist will be notified by mail when a position opens; they will receive an application packet and interview schedule. A client returns the application and verification materials at the scheduled interview. The application is then processed and if approved, both the client and the child care provider receive notice of authorization.
To qualify, parents must provide the following information:
- Address Verification; must be a Denver resident
- Photo ID for Parents
- Certified copy of child’s birth certificate or other document proving lawful presence in the U.S.
- Parents may need to pay a fee to participate in the program
- Meet CCAP Houshold Income Requirements
