Duke University
Tier2-1: Childcare

Duke Child Care Partnership Parents who work at Duke University and Health System have greater access to quality child care through the Duke Child Care Partnership. Between 2003 and 2008 Duke provided nearly $1 million in grants to area child care centers for improving the quality of child care or expanding space for infants and toddlers. This program was originally developed between Duke and Child Care Services Association (CCSA) to address the shortage of high quality child care in our community in a manner which benefits both Duke families and the broader community. Since its inception over 800 new 4 and 5 star spaces have been created and over 400 Duke families currently have a child enrolled at a participating center. Today, Duke Partnership Centers offer priority placement to Duke faculty, staff and students, in exchange for membership in the partnership and listing on Duke's website. Partnership centers must maintain a four or five star license and be in good standing with the state of North Carolina and the Child Care Services Association. http://www.hr.duke.edu/benefits/family/care/dccp/index.php Duke Children’s Campus The Duke Children's Campus is a five star rated child care center located on campus for the exclusive use of Duke faculty, staff and employees who are benefit-eligible. There are also a limited number of slots open to Duke graduate students. Families earning less than $75,000 per year may be eligible for child care tuition assistance programs available through their county of residence, the state of North Carolina or Duke. http://www.hr.duke.edu/benefits/family/care/dcc/index.php http://www.hr.duke.edu/benefits/family/care/dcc/assistance.php Dependent Care Reimbursement Account - Duke offers you a Dependent Care Reimbursement Account to help you take advantage of tax savings on eligible dependent care expenses. http://www.hr.duke.edu/benefits/medical/reimbursement/dependent/index.php
