Collier County’s workforce has been impacted by closures of schools, childcare facilities and other programs. In order to return our workforce safely, a childcare assistance program will be implemented. Households can apply for childcare assistance waivers, provided their income has been affected by State Executive Order, and childcare is a necessary expense to return to work. 

What if I represent a childcare facility?

• Childcare providers can apply for grant assistance for increased operating expenses related to sanitation and other methods of safely operating a program;

• All licensed daycare facilities and Collier County Parks & Recreation programs are eligible for use of the waiver and grant assistance program.
