The School Readiness Match Program is a partnership between an early care and education partner and the Early Learning Coalition of Miami-Dade/Monroe to provide a childcare subsidy to your employees.
The Early Learning Coalition reimburses you 50% of a qualifying employees’ child enrollment, the parent pays the applicable parent fee, and the early care and education partner absorbs the remaining enrollment cost as a benefit to the employees’ family.
To offer this program, you must have a 2026-2027 School Readiness Contract and annually complete a School Readiness Match Program Commitment Agreement.
To qualify, employees must be employed a minimum of 20 hours per week at your program and meet certain income guidelines.
