How to Pay For Childcare

Military Families, Federal Families, and More

Finding the right care and learning environment for your child is an important decision – one we know can be impacted by many variables in a busy family’s life.

The Discovery Tree Academy proudly supports families from the U.S. Military, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. National Park Services, and U.S. General Services Administration. Contact us to learn more about how to pay for childcare services and what you could qualify for based on your needs.

School Readiness Starts at The Discovery Tree Academy.

We also help with a Child Care Subsidy Program managed by the USDA (previously by the GSA), for eligible active duty members or reservists of the U.S. Coast Guard on active duty for 180 days or more, as well as personnel from the U.S. National Park Service, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. General Services Administration who lack access to a nearby Child Development Center.

Whether you require short-term assistance during a family transition or seek a lasting partnership, we are confident in our ability to offer a high-quality solution tailored to your family's needs.

What About Non-Military Families?

Florida’s School Readiness (SR) Program offers financial support to families with children from birth to age five, helping to reduce the cost of child care and enabling parents to work or pursue education. Eligibility is determined based on factors such as family income, household size, and other criteria, with families contributing a portion of the child care expenses.
