Find the section: Is Child Care Subsidy an Option for My Family? under the services tab.
To qualify for the child care subsidy program, a family needs to meet both the situational and financial criteria. Discuss what those criteria are.
Use the Initial Maximum Income Eligibility Limits for Subsidized Child Care Assistance guide to determine the income limit of family of 4 with preschool age children. What is the amount? What would their parent fee be based on the guide? Now, what about the same limit for a family with school age children? How does this differ?
What do you see as the significance or overall negative impact to a family once a child reaches school age, but still needs some type of supervision during the before or after school hours?
