Cabarrus Share is a pilot program through June 30, 2026, that splits the cost of Childcare between the Employee, Employer, and the State of NC through the Cabarrus County Partnership for Children. This opportunity is funded through a grant and will only be available until June 30, 2026.
Mission: To provide an affordable childcare option to those who do not qualify for Childcare Subsidy Vouchers or NC Pre-Kindergarten, but are still struggling to afford quality Early Childhood Education for their children.
Employers
Affordable Childcare for Some Cabarrus Employees
One of the biggest problems for young families in the workforce is the cost of childcare — resulting in more parents being left out of the workforce. Cabarrus Share Grant Program, an innovative Public Private Partnership in Cabarrus County, was created to change all that.
Through the Cabarrus Share Grant Program, a participating employer can contribute a flat fee for an employee’s childcare cost — and the Cabarrus County Partnership for Children will equally match that flat fee — and the parent will pay the balance of their child’s tuition.
The Cabarrus County Partnership for Children will coordinate the childcare payment with the participating business and the parents’ childcare provider. With the Cabarrus Share Grant Program, parents can go to work knowing that their child is safe, cared for, and has the opportunity to succeed.
