Child Care: How-To-Apply

How to Apply

You may apply by calling (315) 435-LOVE (5683) and request an application. The application process can be done entirely by mail. You may also stop by the Child Care Services office and pick up an application.

What to Expect
After you receive your application packet you will need to complete the forms included with it. The application for Child Care is a shortened application and should be fairly easy to complete. You may also need to provide ID; birth certificates; Social Security cards; divorce, separation, or custody papers; and verification of all income.

Once we get your returned application packet we will review it for completeness. If we need more information we will send you a letter telling you what we still need. After all the necessary paperwork is received we will make an eligibility decision within 30 days from your application date.
