Childswork believes that all families should have access to quality early childhood education for their children. We understand that the financial pressures of life can force families to make difficult decisions regarding their daily priorities, including education. In response to this important issue, Childswork is pleased to offer a Financial Aid Program. In partnership with TADS (a Financial Aid Assessment organization), Childswork will provide financial aid to needy families who would like to attend our school.

TADS offers a fair and confidential financial aid assessment process. TADS provides financial aid worksheets, application forms, assistance filling out forms and ultimately recommendations to Childswork so that we can use our limited financial aid dollars objectively, fairly and effectively.

TADS charges $34 to process each application. Childswork is willing to share this cost with any families that decide to apply. Your application fee will be $15. TADS applications can be submitted entirely online, or if you prefer, you can send a paper application.

Please note that a critical first step in the TADS application process is to fill out a Financial Aid Worksheet. While you do not need to send in the worksheet, it is an important tool that will help you fill out the actual application.

The deadline for financial aid for the next school year is April 30th. This will allow TADS sufficient time to process your application, ask you any follow-up questions or request additional information if needed. Financial aid decisions will be made in early June. While the majority of our financial aid dollars will be allocated at this time, we will reserve a small amount of funds for emergency situations or special circumstances that present themselves during the year.

Childswork also accepts DHS funding and encourages families to talk to DHS to see if they are eligible.

If you have any questions please contact TADS, or Kim by email or 503-234-3611 x 23.
