How to Apply (CCAP)

Beginning October 1st, 2024, the Adams County Child Care Assistance Program is on an enrollment freeze.

Applicants will be screened for eligibility and prioritization, which will be implemented once the enrollment freeze has lifted, and space becomes available. Current CCAP families will remain on the program, provided that they continue to meet eligibility criteria and complete their annual recertification’s. Exceptions will be made for eligible child welfare or Colorado Works (Temporary Aid and Needy Families) participants.
