Child Care Subsidy

Child care subsidy is available through the federal Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG). It helps parents who meet income requirements pay for licensed child care while they are at work, in training or getting an education. Subsidy payments are paid directly to a participating child care provider on the family's behalf. Families may have a copayment for the child care services they receive based on their income, the number of family members and the number of family members needing child care. Families are responsible for submitting their copayments directly to their child care provider. Child care providers are private business owners, and they may choose whether or not to accept subsidy payments based upon their own business plans.

The subsidy is paid directly to the child care provider on the family's behalf. The family may have a copayment for the child care based on their income; and the number of family members and the number of family members needing services.
