DES Certified Site Accordion Closed
The Early Learning and Development Center is a Department of Economic Security (DES) contracted site. Any family who qualifies for DES child care assistance can use the ELDC as their provider. DES provides child care assistance to eligible families who participate in employment and specific education and training activities by providing financial support to offset a portion of child care costs for children from birth through age 12. Child care assistance is also available for children experiencing homelessness and children referred by the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) or a Tribal child welfare program.
