THE Y FOR

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

We focus our work in three key areas, because nurturing the potential of kids, helping people live healthier, and supporting our neighbors are fundamental to strengthening communities.

Alternative Payment

Families

The Alternative Payment Program (AP) contracts with the California Department of Education, Child Development Division, to offer child care subsidies to parents who are low income and have a need for child care.

AP Family Responsibilities

The family is responsible for completing all of these tasks.

  • Notify case managers of all changes within five calendar days, such as, but not limited to:
  • Income
  • Need
  • Family size
  • Phone number or address
  • Change of provider
  • Hours
  • Pay parent fees directly to the child care provider.
  • Sign attendance sheets with your full signature and exact time into and out of child care for each child daily.
  • Complete a re-certification appointment a minimum of once every 12 months and within 6 months from the time of transfer from Stage 1.
  • Comply with all regulations set forth by the California Department of Education Title 5, Education Code and the Funding Terms & Conditions.
  • Refrain from aggressive behavior, yelling, name-calling, profanity, any physical aggression, or any behavior or language that is deemed threatening towards staff.

These responsibilities are mandatory. Non-compliance is grounds for termination from the program.
