CHILD CARE WORKS SUBSIDY

The Early Learning Resources Center (ELRC) provides childcare subsidies to eligible families in Allegheny County.  The ELRC pays a portion of your child- care costs directly to MLEDP and you pay a small portion or zero based on family size and income.  MLEDP accepts all families without regard to their ability to pay by directing families to Allegheny county subsidy programs.

Additional Rate and Schedule Calendar Information

*A Typical School Day is a day when children are scheduled for a regular session of school.

*Typical Days Billing: The Typical Days listed above in the Kindergarten Care Schedule Calendar, are totaled (based on your RSPA agreement) then divided into easy monthly installments.

The following items are billed separately.

  1. **Long Days are in service-clerical days and parent teacher conference days with 11.5 hours of care available.
