Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS)

The CCAMPIS Program is authorized by the Higher Education Act and administered by the U.S. Department of Education.  The goal of CCAMPIS is to increase access to post-secondary education for low-income parenting students by providing quality, affordable and accessible childcare services while they further their education.  Our current CCAMPIS grant funding supports Assistant Teachers salaries, allowing for the Center to increase some of our classroom sizes.
