Common questions about child care assistance in Kentucky
The Employee Child Care Assistance Partnership (ECCAP) is Kentucky's tri-share program where the state matches employer contributions dollar-for-dollar to help employees afford child care.
Families must be employed by a participating employer. Income guidelines vary, but the program targets working families who earn too much for traditional subsidies.
Families can save $6,000 or more per year depending on employer contributions and the state match.
Employers can enroll through the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development. The state matches employer contributions up to specified limits.
ECCAP is available statewide in Kentucky, including Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Owensboro, Covington, and all other cities and counties.
Employers in Kentucky can implement a Duo-Share program immediatelyโa two-way cost split between employer and employee that can be launched in 60-90 days without waiting for government funding.
