Please call Solano Family & Children's Services at (707) 863-3950 or download the application and fax/mail it to them. What is the SCEL? The Solano Centralized Eligibility List is an Internet based system that allows participating subsidized child care centers access to the most eligible families seeking subsidized child care services. The term "eligibility" is used because families are ranked by eligibility factors for subsidized care (income, size, and need), not just time on the list. Benefits of the SCEL In Solano County we have developed a centralized child care eligibility list to allow you to sign up for all child care subsidy programs at one time and in one place. In addition to assisting parents, the SCEL provides important benefits to child care programs, policy makers, and public administrators. Child care programs can use the SCEL to help them quickly identify children to fill their vacancies. Public administrators and policy makers can make better decisions about programming and resource allocation if they have data on the supply and demand for subsidized child care. How to Place your name on the SCEL You may visit any of the programs named below to complete an application and place your name on the SCEL.
