Idaho's Strategy for Quality Child Care
Ask your employees to look for programs that participate in Idaho’s Steps to Quality Child Care Program, Idaho’s system to provide parents a way to differentiate among the quality of child care settings. It’s hard to find child care. It’s even harder to know how to compare child care programs and understand the quality of the settings.
Idaho Child Care Program (ICCP)
For low-income families, child care subsidies are available based on family income. These resources are available through the Idaho Child Care Program (ICCP) through the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.
Employee-based Child Care Options
Federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC)
When you send your employees their W-2 at tax time, remind them if they have children for whom they pay for child care services, they can claim CDCTC.
Tax Benefits to Support Employee Child Care
Contracting for Child Care
Businesses can contract with a child care program to provide child care for their employees or help make it more affordable. As with on-site child care, businesses can receive a tax credit equal to 25% of expenses capped annually at $150,000.
