CHILDCARE REIMBURSEMENT

We never want childcare to be the reason someone can't attend a group.  Although we cannot pay for every childcare expense, there are some ways to utilize this well for your families. We wanted to give some guardrails around it as you prepare your group. This is not intended to reimburse the entire amount but to help families have the ability to prioritize small groups.

  1. For families, we will reimburse $5 towards the first kid, and up to $15 total per small group session (3 Total Hours). For multiple kids in a family needing childcare, we will max out the reimbursement at a total of $30 per small group session. 
  2. If you would like to host a sitter at your house, we will reimburse a total of $30 for 1-2 families needing childcare, or up to $40 for the entire small group session if the group has 3+ families needing childcare. 
  3. Families or Small Groups must use the form below. The reimbursement must be submitted within 3 days of the small group meeting in order to be reimbursed. 
  4. If anyone in your group has extenuating circumstances, please contact us directly to see how we might be able to help.
