Child care assistance
Each year, the federal government provides each state with funds for a state-run child care subsidy program. While eligibility requirements differ depending on your state, these programs are designed to offer low-income families child care assistance, in turn, giving parents the opportunity to attend school, go to work, or pursue other opportunities.

What does it mean to subsidize child care?

Local, state, and federal authorities allocate funds annually for families that need assistance with child care expenses. A child care subsidy program is governed by specific guidelines, regulations, and rules.
How do you qualify for a child care subsidy?
OPEN
The qualification requirements vary depending on the state in which you live. Each state has its own income requirements and other criteria for eligibility. Check with the Department for Health and Human Services to learn about your state’s requirements.
Why is a child care subsidy important?
OPEN
A child care subsidy makes high-quality daycare centers and other forms of child care more accessible to lower-income families. These high-quality programs can greatly benefit a child’s development, help them get ready for school, and set them up for future success. Plus, when working parents have reliable child care, they can focus on work, advance in their careers, and boost their financial wellbeing.
