Important Information for JHU Faculty and Staff on Child Care Support Programs
The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) will be opening its application window for the Child Care Voucher and Scholarship programs from October 15 to October 31, a critical period for parents with pre-kindergarten children who are under the age of six and currently enrolled in paid care. These programs are designed to assist eligible families with the financial burdens associated with early childhood education and care.
To facilitate a better understanding of these offerings, JHU will host a comprehensive webinar on Tuesday, October 7, at 1 p.m. This session aims to provide participants with essential insights into the Child Care Voucher and Scholarship programs, focusing on key areas such as eligibility criteria, the application process, required documentation, and potential award amounts.
Whether participants are new applicants or are reapplying for benefits in 2026, the webinar will equip them with the necessary knowledge to navigate these needs-based child care grants efficiently. It is worth noting that this educational opportunity is exclusively available to university faculty and staff; however, students will have their own application opportunity, which will commence in November.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to review the 2026 income eligibility tiers detailed on the respective PLACEHOLDER250653c2f5b74f4a and PLACEHOLDER1e5d65e6a05f8bea program webpages prior to the webinar. This preliminary step is crucial in determining whether families meet the required qualifications for assistance.
For additional inquiries, personnel may reach out via email at childcare@jhu.edu. This resource is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking clarification on eligibility criteria or other program-related questions.
JHU’s efforts in offering these financial aid programs underscore the institution’s commitment to supporting its workforce with valuable resources. By addressing the high costs associated with child care and early childhood education, JHU plays a significant role in ensuring that faculty and staff have access to essential support, allowing them to better balance professional obligations and family needs.
Parents are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity during the upcoming enrollment period to secure the necessary financial assistance for their children’s care and education.
