Preschool & Daycare Center Serving Flushing, MI
Child Care Network’s Family Support Program (FSP) provides short-term child care scholarships to help families reduce financial stress and access the quality care their children need. Little People’s Playhouse is proud to work with families who receive FSP support.
You may qualify if you are working, attending school, in a job training program, seeking employment, experiencing a life-crisis situation, or are a grandparent raising grandchildren. Children must be between birth and
14 years old and meet income guidelines. Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis — we encourage families to apply early.
Child Care Network also administers the MI Tri-Share program, where child care costs are split equally between you, your employer, and the state — a great option for working families whose income is above the standard subsidy threshold.

Your child’s care is important to you, and you want to be sure your child is receiving the best early education. There are options available to help you offset the cost of tuition, and we’ve gathered the information you need to take advantage of these programs.
See What Option Works For You:
Families may be eligible for the federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and state-level tax benefits in Michigan. Tax laws change year to year, so we recommend speaking with a tax advisor about what your family currently qualifies for.
State Tax Benefits:
Each state offers different tax credits to offset the cost of child care. See what benefits might be available to you in Michigan.
If your family needs help with tuition, there are state and local agencies to provide tuition subsidies. This map is a great starting point for finding the financial assistance resources available.
More and more employers add child care benefits to their employee compensation packages because it’s hard to do your job without reliable child care!
Talk with your employer or your HR department about whether they offer child care benefits and how to use them.
