While federal employees receive first priority, GSA Child Care centers are also open to the community. Parents pay fees to cover tuition for care in the centers. Tuition rates vary according to geographic location, services offered, hours of care, size of the center, and other criteria.

There are two types of financial assistance: employer-sponsored and board programs. Find how you can receive financial assistance for child care tuition.
