FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Some families may qualify for childcare payment assistance program provided by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS). Please contact Brightpoint (formerly known as CHASI) at 800-847-6770 for more information.

It is the responsibility of families to obtain and submit Brightpoint paperwork to IDHS. Parents should bring the Brightpoint application to the Kid Zone Office for completion of the provider section prior to submission to IDHS. Parents are responsible for all Kid Zone fees until Brightpoint verification is received.

Families are responsible for all copayments and additional Kid Zone fees (including late pickup charges) outside of approved Brightpoint days. Copayments and approved days are determined by Brightpoint, not Kid Zone.
