Affordability

We believe that top-tier early education should be accessible to every family in our community. We proudly participate in key tuition assistance and employer-sponsored child care programs to help lower or cover your out-of-pocket costs.

NEIECC Co-Share Program

Employer-sponsored child care assistance

The Northeast Indiana Early Childhood Coalition (NEIECC) Co-share program is an innovative partnership designed to help employers share the cost of child care with their employees. Through this program, your employer pays a portion of your tuition costs directly to help lower your family's monthly expense.

Is Your Employer Participating?

If you work for a participating business, contact your Human Resources department to get your private application link. Once approved, you’ll be able to use your childcare benefits right here at our program!

What If My Employer Isn't Participating Yet?

You can help bring this benefit to your workplace! Employers across Northeast Indiana are looking for ways to support working parents, and many simply don't know this program exists.

Download the Employer Flyer and share it with your HR department: Share the flyer with your Human Resources or Benefits department and ask if they would consider partnering with NEIECC to offer child care co-sharing.

State Assistance Vouchers (CCDF)

The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)—often referred to as child care vouchers—is an Indiana state program designed to help lower-income families pay for high-quality child care and preschool.
