Step 2

Match With Right At School

After a child is approved, they will need your location’s unique Provider ID in order to MATCH with Right At School. This is a unique number that the state uses to direct the subsidy payments. Parents will enter this number. Parents complete this MATCH by filling out the necessary CCAP paperwork. (see below for blank forms)

Enroll For Right At School Programs

Once you have provided the number to your local office and been matched with Right At School, you are ready to enroll in Right At School programs. Here’s how:
To apply your financial assistance toward your tuition:

To add your programs:

  • Find your school
  • Select “Program Information” under your school.
  • IMPORTANT: Do not proceed to Step 3 until you have completed Steps 1 and 2. You must know your case number and the name of your subsidy agency to continue.
  • Select “register” next to the program you’d like to choose. You’ll have an opportunity later to add additional children or programs.
  • Login into your account if you are a current family; select “New Family” if you are new and need to create an account.
  • When you get to the check out page, DO NOT input credit card information. Keep the programs in your cart and exit the window.
  • After you complete the form and add your program, our subsidy team will verify your eligibility with the subsidy agency and complete your registration. You will receive confirmation of your registration via email within two business days. If you have a copay, we will also send you an invoice for the balance owed to Right At School.
