Jax State’s CCAMPIS Program Now Available

Jacksonville State University’s Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) program is now available for full-time Pell Grant-eligible student-parents, offering discounted tuition at Jax State’s Child Development Center. Qualifying, current enrolled families will see this reduction in their next billing cycle, while new families looking for full-day care for infants to three-year-olds will be placed on a waiting list.

Full-time Jax State Pre-K student-parents may also qualify for CCAMPIS tuition assistance for the after-care program, which runs daily from 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The CCAMPIS program also includes drop-in care for infants and children ages one to four, with costs subsidized based on student-parent Pell Grant awards. This initiative aims to improve access to quality childcare for student-parents, helping them effectively manage their educational and parenting commitments.

The Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) Program is a valuable initiative designed to assist low-income student-parents in accessing higher education by offering quality childcare services. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education under the Higher Education Act, CCAMPIS aims to reduce barriers for parent-students at Jacksonville State University.

Additionally, our three Alabama First Class Pre-K classrooms are free for families selected through the annual spring drawing. If you are interested in the Child Development Center’s Pre-K program, please email  for additional information. Registration for the 2025 -2026 Pre-K school year will open in the spring.
