If you are navigating domestic violence, leaving a relationship, rebuilding your life, or going through a major transition, you are not alone.

Project CARE provides free, trauma-informed childcare support to families in Montgomery County. Project CARE is not an emergency service, but we collaborate closely with emergency partners who can support you 24/7.

You deserve safety.

You deserve support.

And you deserve a clear, simple path forward.

We will walk with you — gently, at your pace.

go to court
rest, heal, and rebuild
support their children through transitions

If childcare is a barrier in your life right now, Project CARE may be able to support you.
