Becoming An Approved Child Care Provider
(These providers are exempt from
licensure initially and
can provide child care services to children whose
families receive child care
assistance. However,
the provider must be licensed within a year to continue
to receive child care
assistance payments)
Primarily funded by the federal Child
Care Development Fund and Temporary
Assistance to Needy Families
grants,
these subsidy programs help to alleviate
(up to an extent) the burden of child
care costs for parents
depending
on the
family size and level of income.
This program provides cash support that
enhances the quality of child care
services offered by a provider.
Certain
restrictions apply to qualify for the
child care grants.
