State and Local Subsidies and Tax Credits
Child Care Tax Credits
You may be able to get money back at tax time! Some families qualify for these types of credits:
These credits depend on how much you earn and how many kids you have. You’ll need to file a Form 1040 with the IRS to claim them . This information should not be considered tax advice. Call the IRS at 800-829-1040 (7:00 AM–7:00 PM local time) for more information.
State Tax Help
Your state may offer child care tax benefits too. Check what’s available where you live.
Child Care Subsidy Programs
We partner with state and local agencies to provide discounted or free tuition. How much help you get depends on where you live and how much you make.
Part-Time Scheduling Options
We offer part-time scheduling options to meet your needs. Choose the days of the week that work best for you, and chat with your center director about your custom schedule.
Tuition Savings Through Your Employer
Some employers offer help with child care as part of your pay and benefits. We team up with many employers to offer child care benefits:
- 10%–100% savings on tuition at any KinderCare location

- Priority access to our programs
- And more!
Ask your manager or HR team if your employer offers child care benefits that you can use at KinderCare.
