MUSD Coronavirus Childcare Funding

From Monrovia Unified School District:

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors allocated $15 million in CARES Act funding for childcare vouchers to serve essential workers and low-income families in the County.

The Office for the Advancement of Early Care and Education is contracting with the Child Care Alliance, a network of LA County Resource and Referral /Alternative Payment agencies, to distribute vouchers.

Families seeking early care and education services may call 888-92-CHILD (888-922-4453). Eligibility for these vouchers is set by the state.

At this time, Child Care Alliance are still in the process of implementing the program in partnership with LA County. Interested families are encouraged to call Child Care Alliance and provide contact information and zip code. The zip code will help them search their database for a Resource and Referral agency, which is where they will forward the family’s information. Once the program is implemented, a local Resource and Referral agency will reach out to the families to provide further details.
