Overview
The Employment-Related Day Care program (ERDC) helps eligible low-income families pay for child care while they are working. Assistance can include the cost of registration fees, including annual enrollment fees, application fees, and initial registration fees. ERDC is a subsidy program, meaning eligible families still pay part of the child care cost.
ERDC also works with providers and other child care partners across the state to help families find and keep good child care, improve the availability of quality child care in Oregon, and to develop resources for parents and child care providers.
