Financial Support
Families have several supplemental options available to assist with childcare costs. Below, you'll find details about public financial support and LE3's internal financial aid program.
We encourage all families to contact our Main Office if you need additional assistance.
Erie County Child Care Subsidy Program
The Erie County Child Care Subsidy Program is here to help parents balance the demands of work, school, and family life. By making quality child care more affordable, this program ensures your children receive the care and learning opportunities they deserve while you focus on achieving your goals.
Whether striving for career advancement or furthering your education, the subsidy program provides the financial support you need to access trusted childcare services. Invest in your family’s future with the peace of mind that your child thrives in a safe and nurturing environment.
Your first step would be to complete the childcare eligibility quiz. If you receive a notice at the end that says you would likely qualify,y then please move forward with the full application. Our main office or any of our locations can help you complete the daycare questionnaire.
If you receive a notice at the end that says you would likely not qualify, then consider the LE3 Financial Aid Program.
LE3 Internal Financial Aid Program
Our program aims to assist families who fall slightly above Erie County's eligibility limit.
Please be aware that part of the application process requires you to upload a screenshot of the Child Care Eligibility Quiz indicating that you are not recommended to apply.
We kindly request that you fill out our financial aid form completely and share any additional information that may not be visible on a tax return or pay stub, as we understand that living expenses cannot always be reflected by these documents.
