Summer Childcare Reimbursement Program
2024 Summer Childcare Reimbursement Program Guidelines
The Summer Childcare Reimbursement Program is available to employees in the Confidential, Trades & Crafts, Public Services, Clerical and Supervisory bargaining units to assist with summer childcare expenses for children 14 years of age and younger. Reimbursement amounts vary depending on family needs and available funds. Reimbursements are to be used for your choice of approved childcare provider; however, the program does not reimburse expenses for childcare provided by family members.
Important Dates
April 1, 2024 – Application period OPENS.
June 30, 2024 – DEADLINE for applications. Applications received after this date will be placed on a waiting list.
June 1 to August 31, 2024 – Reimbursement period for approved applicants. Claims for childcare expenses outside this time period will not be accepted.
If funds remain, the reimbursement period may be extended on a month-by-month basis beyond August 2024, but shall not exceed December 31, 2024.
Must be a permanent employee of the County of San Luis Obispo in the Confidential, Trades & Crafts, Public Services, Clerical, or Supervisory bargaining units working a minimum of 20 hours a week.

Special requests or needs for children over 14 years old will be considered on an individual basis when funds exist.
