The Resource Connection is proud to offer financial assistance programs to Amador and Calaveras County residents. These programs are designed to help income-eligible families cover the expenses associated with childcare services. Funding is provided through a combination of federal, state and local agencies. When funding allows, The Resource Connection will open enrollment to new families based on our Childcare Eligibility List (CEL).

Childcare Eligibility List (CEL)

• The Childcare Eligibility List determines which families should be served first
• The family is ranked by gross family income, family size and other needs. Income is verified prior to enrollment
• Children receiving CPS, or children at risk of being neglected or abused are given priority
• If a child lives with a guardian/foster parent only the child's income is used to determine the family's rank

To be placed on our Childcare Eligibility List, please use our on-line application-

==> CEL Application - Amador County

==> CEL Application - Calaveras County
