Child Care Connection & Referral Service (CCAP)

Child Care Assistance Program

The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) has contracted with us to administer the child care assistance program. Parents who meet the income eligibility requirements and are working and/or going to school are encouraged to apply for child care assistance.

To find out if you or someone you know may be eligible, contact Child Care Connection or visit the IDHS Eligibility Calculator. Applications may be obtained online or from the Child Care Connection office, local DHS office, and most licensed child care providers.

For more information, please contact CCAP at (800) 301-3304 or (309) 690-7300.
