Child Care Grants
Cornell recognizes that the cost of quality child care can be a substantial burden to employees. In order to ease that burden, the university has committed to helping faculty and staff keep their children in quality care by subsidizing its cost through the Cornell University Child Care Grant Subsidy Program. The Cornell University Child Care Grant Subsidy Program (CCGS) helps Cornell employees pay child care expenses. The grant covers child care for work days, school holidays, summer vacations and teacher work days. If you have any questions, please e-mail childcare@cornell.edu.
Cornell also recognizes the cost of quality child care can be a substantial burden to students that are raising children. The university has committed to helping these students keep their children in quality care by subsidizing its cost through the Cornell University Student Child Care Subsidy Program.
