HECCP
Do you need childcare assistance? Funds are available for qualifying parents and children!
The Higher Education Child Care Project (HECCP) is funded by the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) Division of Child Care through federal Child Care and Development Block Grant COVID-19 relief funds. The pilot project end date is June 30, 2024.
The purpose of the Pima Community College HECCP is to provide qualified childcare assistance to income eligible parents of dependent children from birth to twelve (12) years of age who are enrolled full-time or part-time in any program who attend Pima Community College.
This program is currently closed to new applications.

- Childcare must be licensed or certified by DES or refer to Arizona Child Care Resource & Referral website.
- Children must be legally dependent, be twelve (12) years of age or younger and be United States citizens or qualified immigrants.
