How to Apply

Fill out the application and attach the required documentation:

You may request an application by:

  • Calling Child Care Assistance at 459-1474 between 7:30 am and 5:00 pm
  • Come to our office at: 520 5th Avenue, Suite D between 7:30 am and 5:00 pm
  • Download the Application form (an Adobe Acrobat (pdf) form)

Bring the application to the CCA office between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. When you come in, you may meet with a staff person to go over your application. She will tell you if any information is missing. She can also answer any questions you might have.

If you cannot bring the application to CCA, you can mail it in, fax it to 459-1280, or leave it in the drop box outside our front door. A staff person will review it for completeness, and contact you if any information is missing.

After all required information and documents are received, CCA will process your application and contact you with the results. An interview is required to complete the process and usually takes about an hour.

If you and your child care provider are eligible, your assistance can begin on the date we receive the application.

If you have any questions, please call use at 459-1474.

We are located in the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District Building - 520 5th Avenue, Suite D.   Our office is open 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Parking is available in the School District parking lot.
