Need Help Finding and Paying for Child Care?
Thrive by 5 Louisville is here to walk with you every step of the way.
Many families in Louisville qualify for child care help but don’t know it—or think they can’t apply. Thrive by 5 Louisville’s Family Navigation and Support Initiative is here to change that.
Currently, fewer than 1 in 4 families who qualify for Kentucky’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) are using it. That means many children are missing out on early learning & care, and many parents are struggling more than they need to. We’re here to help families cut through the confusion, skip the stress, and find the right care for their child.
Need help, or know someone who does? Our Family Navigators are here to guide and support you.
