A Promise that puts your Family First means knowing your child is safe, supported, and thriving while you focus on work and home. Together with trusted early learning centers and caring employers, we’re here to walk alongside your family every step of the way.

The Alliance Employment Promise (AEP) is more than a workplace benefit – it’s a reflection of your employer’s commitment to you and your loved ones. Created through a partnership between Alliance Area Development and the Early Childhood Education Alliance, this program is designed to walk alongside you, easing the cost of child care and supporting your journey as both a parent and a professional.
When child care is affordable, you can focus on your work knowing your child is safe, learning, and thriving. With AEP, that peace of mind is within reach.

Through the Alliance Employment Promise, you may receive $200 per child each month toward tuition at one of eight trusted early learning centers in Alliance. These centers are places where children are known, nurtured, and celebrated every day – each one committed to providing safe, enriching environments where young learners can grow.
This support is more than financial relief – it’s an investment in your child’s future and your family’s stability.

If you work for a participating employer and have a child enrolled in one of our approved centers, you can apply for AEP benefits. Getting started is simple: connect with your employer’s HR department to confirm eligibility and begin receiving your subsidy.
