+description: Iowa assigns a child to a child care rate age group based on their age in years under the Child Care Assistance program. Infant and toddler is two weeks to three years; preschool is three years to school age; school age is a child attending school. Iowa defines the preschool-to-school-age boundary by school attendance rather than a numeric age, so we treat school age as starting at age 5 (kindergarten entry).
