What is ERDC?

How ERDC Childcare Supports Families in Malheur County

The Employment Related Day Care (ERDC) subsidy is a statewide program that helps working families and students access childcare. At Treasure Valley Children’s Relief Nursery, we provide ERDC-approved childcare for children ages six weeks to three years.



Our classrooms operate year-round, Monday through Friday, offering full-day care in a safe, consistent environment. With small teacher-to-child ratios, a therapeutic, relationship-based approach, and structured routines, children experience more than supervision—they build skills, relationships, and confidence through everyday learning and care.
