Enhanced Rate Program

The Department of Human Services assists low-income families in paying for child care. Child care providers who care for DHS assisted families can be in the Enhanced Rate Program. Enhanced Rate providers receive a 7% increase in DHS rates because they have met specific training and education requirements.

To apply for the Enhanced Rate Program (ERP), please download the application form and instructions.
