The University of Maryland is committed to supporting caregivers and families. This month, UHR is spotlighting two programs that help UMD employees with childcare costs.
Lifemart Discount Program: A Care@Work membership grants participants access to Lifemart, where they can find tuition discount vouchers for participating childcare centers. By searching by zip code, members can see which centers in their area are eligible. Among other local daycare providers, members receive a 10% discount at any KinderCare or Learning Care Group center. Click here for more information.
Maryland Child Care Scholarship Program: Eligible families may receive financial assistance for regular childcare expenses through the Maryland State Department of Education. Maryland Excels allows individuals to verify if a specific provider participates in the state scholarship program (the UMD Center for Young Children is a participating provider on campus).
For more information on Family Care, please visit the UHR website.
