The NOCAC Publicly Funded Childcare Program, funded through the Ohio Department of Children and Youth, assists eligible families from Auglaize, Defiance, Fulton, Hancock, Hardin, Paulding, Van Wert, and Williams counties in locating and/or paying for childcare for their children ages birth to 13 years of age.
We currently have a waiting list for parents who need good, quality care for their children. Without childcare, they cannot keep their jobs or attend classes.
Are you interested in becoming a childcare provider? We would love to give you more information! A licensed provider has access to the support of knowledgeable specialists who can help you grow your business for families who are looking for a safe, loving environment for their children. Families who have been determined eligible have been assessed a small co-pay. The remainder of your weekly pay would be direct deposited from the State of Ohio.
Give us a call at 419-784-2150, x 1115. Or, click here!
