Child Care Subsidy

Connections For Children administers several programs that assist families with child care expenses. Subsidy is available to assist low-income families with partial or full payment towards child care while parents work, attend school or training programs. Funding for subsidy comes from a variety of Federal, State, and local funding.

All subsidized programs allow parents to choose the child care arrangement that best suits the individual needs of the family. Parents are free to choose licensed or legally exempt child care.

Our Program Specialists work with each family to certify eligibility and make contractual arrangements with the child care provider. Families may also contact our Resource & Referral Department for more information about licensed child care programs and help with choosing appropriate care. Eligible families are served without regard to gender, race, religion, ethnicity, or disability.
