No-Cost or Reduced-Cost Child Care
Every Family Deserves Access to Quality Child Care
At Catalyst Kids, we believe every child deserves a safe, enriching place to learn and grow, and every family deserves access to quality care.
We offer several options to help make child care more affordable. Depending on your family’s situation, no cost or reduced-cost care may be available through:
- State-funded subsidized child care programs
- Alternative Payment or third-party voucher programs, including CAPP and CalWORKs Stage 2 & 3
- Center-based Catalyst Kids scholarships
If you already receive assistance through another agency, we can partner directly with that program. If you’re unsure where to begin, our team will help you explore your options with care and clarity.

Meeting income guidelines for financial assistance
Working, looking for work, or building career skills
Attending school or job training
Experiencing changes or challenges that affect your family’s stability
Receiving public assistance or working with a community agency
Navigating a medical or personal situation that impacts your ability to work
