TUITION & ASSISTANCE

Let’s Make the Numbers Work Together

Choosing a school for your little one is a big decision, and cost is part of it. That’s okay to talk about! Many AmeriMont families use state child care programs, military fee assistance, or workplace benefits to bring their monthly tuition down. Take a look at the options below, and if you’re not sure where you fit, our office team is happy to help you work it out.

Children’s Home Society of California (CHS)

CHS is Orange County’s go-to agency for child care support.

It helps income-eligible families pay for care and keeps the county’s Centralized Eligibility List, the waitlist for state-funded

child care assistance. If you think you might qualify,

getting on the list early is the smartest first move.

Orange County Department of Education

(OCDE) Family Support Services

OCDE runs its own state-funded program that helps

eligible families cover child care costs.

It’s a separate route from CHS, so it’s worth looking into both.

CalWORKs Child Care

If your family receives CalWORKs, child care support may

already be available to you while you work, study, or train.

Your county caseworker can confirm your eligibility

and help you use it at AmeriMont.

Military Families: Child Care Aware® of America

Serving families can get help paying for community child care

when on-base care is too far away or has a waitlist.

Child Care Aware of America manages the application

and pays part of your monthly tuition directly to us.

Workplace Benefits and Tax Savings

Ask your employer whether they offer a Dependent Care FSA. Households can set aside up to $7,500 a year in pre-tax income for child care. Tuition may also count toward the federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit. Need an itemized statement for HR or your tax preparer? Just ask, and we’ll have it ready.

How We Help

1. Talk to us. Tell our office team which programs you’re looking into, or ask us where to start.

2. Apply with the agency. Each program decides its own eligibility, and we’ll point you to the right forms.

3. We take care of our side. Once you’re approved, we’ll handle the provider paperwork and billing setup so your child’s start date stays on track.

Questions Parents Ask

Is there a waitlist for state assistance?

Often, yes. Funding is limited, so eligible families join Orange County’s Centralized Eligibility List and are contacted as spaces open up. Sign up as early as you can, even before you’ve picked a start date.

Will assistance cover the full cost of tuition?

It depends on the program and your family’s situation. Some families are fully covered, and others pay a share. The agency will tell you your portion, and we’ll explain how it fits with your tuition.

Can I visit before I know whether I qualify?

Please do! The best way to experience AmeriMont is to visit, and we’re happy to talk through funding while you’re here.
