Child Care Subsidy Program
Subsidized child care is a program funded through State
and Federal dollars to assist parents with the cost
of child care. Families receiving financial assistance
may choose the child care program that best meets their
needs.
In order to qualify for financial assistance for child
care, parents must meet the program's income guidelines
and must have a need for child care. For most parents,
the need for child care is that they are working full-time
or are enrolled in school full-time. The subsidy program
can assist parents with the cost of child care for children
ages 0 - 12.
Presently more than 150 child care programs participate
in the child care subsidy program. Parents may take
their voucher to the child care program of their choice.
BCCCS has Parent Counselors available to assist parents
locate quality child care programs.
