A tax credit is even more valuable to families than a tax deduction! It’s a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the taxes you owe. Here is a useful breakdown of what these credits look like for 2024.

• $2,100 from the federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit for two or more dependents or $1,050 for one dependent.
• $6,935 from the federal Earned Income Tax Credit.
• $2,000 per child for children up to 16 years of age from the federal Child Tax Credit.

For all three of these federal tax credits, there are rules and limitations, so please speak to your tax advisor about how these benefits apply to your family. Additionally, your tax advisor can help make sure you have received all available 2023 benefits when you file your tax return, which is due by April 15, 2024.

If your family needs help with tuition, we partner with state and local agencies to provide tuition subsidies where we can. We also have subsidy coordinators standing by who can work with your director to discuss potential tuition solutions for your family. Give them a call at 904-822-3950.

As one way to thank you for your service, we’re proud to support U.S. Military, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. National Park Services, and U.S. General Services Administration families with child care assistance. 

We've partnered with Child Care Aware® of America to offer you fee assistance if you’re an eligible active-duty military family, and a solution to address your child care needs if on-base child care isn't available.

An increasing number of employers are including child care benefits in their employee compensation packages, recognizing that without dependable child care, it’s tough to focus on work. Top Kids Academy collaborates with a wide range of employers to provide on-site care, tuition discounts, backup care days, and priority access to our programs.

Reach out to your employer or HR department to find out if they offer child care benefits through Little Butterflies Preschool, or if those benefits can be applied to our services, and learn how to take advantage of them.

If your workplace doesn’t yet offer child care benefits, or if you’re an employer interested in providing these benefits to your team, we’d love to discuss how we can help!

Whether you’re already part of our family, just joining us, or sharing the love with friends and family, we have special perks just for you!

Refer-a-Friend Reward Invite a friend to one of our centers, and if they enroll full-time, you could qualify for a tuition credit! For more details, stop by or contact your center director.

Sibling Discounts When families trust us with the care and education of multiple children, we believe in returning that loyalty. If you enroll more than one child with us, you’ll receive a tuition credit. Speak with your center director about your sibling discount!

Old City Academy Employee Discounts As an employee of Old City Academy, you may be eligible for additional discounts or tuition credits. Check with your HR manager to see what benefits are available to you.
