Financial Resources for Families

Paying for Child Care

Picture
Subsidy Child Care Program  
The Child Care Subsidy program uses state and federal funds to provide subsidized child care services to eligible families. 
​
The family must meet income eligibility requirements in order to be approved for services. The parent may be required to pay a parental fee (a portion of the cost of care). The parental fee is based on the family’s income unit and family size.
 
Subsidy services are based on eligibility, the need for child care, and the availability of funds. There is currently no waiting list.
​

To apply for Child Care Subsidy please call 336-513-4763
