If you need assistance affording childcare so that you can work or go to school, you can apply to the Alternative Payment Program available at Community Resources for Children. Find out if you qualify by going to the CRC website.
Through Community Resources for Children, I was able to get a subsidy to help pay for my son’s full time childcare at PDS so that I could work. The process was super simple thanks to the existing relationship between PDS and CRC, which meant I was able to seamlessly enroll in the subsidy program without any additional hassle. This is a wonderful service offered to working families in the Napa Valley.

We love the Presbyterian Day School. Our family has been a part of this amazing school since 2010. Our children have been loved and cared for by the amazing staff there. They all cherished their time at preschool and they flourished in kindergarten. I would recommend this school to any of my friends and family.
