Helping Families Access Affordable Childcare and Resources
At Ministries of Grace, we’ve seen firsthand how the lack of affordable childcare can trap families in a cycle of poverty. Parents often find themselves torn between working to provide for their families and ensuring their children are safe. That’s why, as part of our Comprehensive Support system, we focus on breaking down these barriers and opening doors to new opportunities.
Childcare support isn’t just about convenience—it’s about empowering parents to pursue employment, education, and long-term stability without sacrificing their children’s well-being.
Comprehensive Childcare and Family Support Services
We approach childcare and family support with the understanding that every family’s needs are unique. Through a combination of advocacy, direct assistance, and mentorship, we aim to strengthen families from the ground up.
CAPS Application Assistance
Navigating financial aid programs can feel overwhelming for families who are already stretched thin. That’s why we offer:
- Step-by-step guidance through Georgia’s Childcare and Parent Services (CAPS) application process
- Support for families who fall just outside eligibility lines but still can’t afford childcare on their own
- Help connecting with affordable daycare and preschool options that fit each family’s situation
When the burden of childcare costs is lifted, parents can focus on keeping their jobs and building a secure future for their kids.
Referral & Advocacy for Childcare Services
Not every family qualifies for government assistance, but that doesn’t mean they’re any less in need. We step in by:
- Providing personalized referrals to trusted local childcare agencies
- Writing advocacy letters to childcare providers to request reduced rates
- Connecting families with community partners who offer additional childcare support
Through advocacy and relationship-building, we help fill the gaps that traditional programs often miss.
Mentorship Programs for Children
Many children growing up in unstable environments lack the consistent, positive role models they need. Our mentorship program addresses this critical need by:
- Pairing children with trained, caring mentors for weekly check-ins
- Offering support with homework, life skills development, and emotional growth
- Building long-term mentor relationships that offer stability and encouragement
A steady, supportive adult presence can make a life-changing difference for a child who needs someone to believe in them.
Why Childcare Support Matters
Without access to affordable childcare, many parents are forced to choose between earning a paycheck and caring for their children. That impossible decision often leads to lost income, missed opportunities, and long-term financial instability.
By providing childcare assistance, advocacy, and mentorship, we’re not just helping individual families—we’re helping entire communities move toward a more stable, hopeful future.

The need for childcare support is growing, and you can be part of the solution:
- Donate: Your generosity helps cover childcare costs and provides mentorship opportunities for families in need.
