Child Care Connection Hawaii, a program run by the State of
Hawaii Department of Human Services, provides families with:
- Subsidies to help with childcare expenses
- Guidance in selecting a provider
- Information about programs
- Referrals to community resources
Child Care Connection Hawaii will pay a subsidy for childcare
by providers approved by the Department of Human Services. By participating in
the program, parents can remain working while an approved provider is looking
after their keiki.
There are some requirements for eligibility in the program,
unless the childcare is provided for protective reasons and the family is
referred for assistance. The general eligibility requirements are:
- Children must be up to 13 years old, or between 13 and 18 years old and can’t do self-care
- Parents or caregivers must be employed, in school, or in a job training program
- Gross monthly income can’t exceed 85 percent of the state median income for a family of the same size
