Funding
CCC can only help struggling families because of private donations from generous supporters. Due to the auxiliary services that we provide, the cost to run Compassion Child Care is $215/week per child. That cost is driven by that fact that CCC maintains a lower staff to child ratio than is required by state law due to the unique circumstances of the children that attend the daycare. Thus, 80% of the total budget consists of staffing costs.
If a family were attending a daycare in Sioux Falls, they would typically pay between $175-$250/week, depending on the age of their child. This is an unbearable burden for families that are making between $15-$18/hour as it can be upwards of 40% of their take-home pay. While all families at CCC pay something, the rate is based on where they fall within the average median income of chart for Sioux Falls, as well as how many people are in the household. Weekly rates at CCC range from $25/week to $190/week per child. Please consider supporting families by becoming a monthly donor, giving a one-time general fund donation, or sponsoring a family.
