If you are a resident of Scott County, working or attending school and do not qualify for any other childcare assistance, the Scott County Kids Early Childhood Iowa Childcare Scholarship Program may help pay childcare costs.

With funding by Scott County Kids Early Childhood Iowa, the program is designed to help families with a portion of their childcare expenses. Parents can choose their own licensed or registered provider. Providers must maintain liability and accident insurance to cover all children in their care. The program is administered by Friendly House.

- Ineligible for any other child care program

The program pays a rate of $200 - $300 per month for full-time childcare or $100 - $150 per month for part-time childcare. The parent is responsible for the remaining childcare costs. Partially attended months may be prorated.
