Child care subsidy facing changes, meaning loss of money for many families
Placeholder Image
New families seeking subsidies through the state Childcare and Parent Services program will have to meet additional requirements starting Saturday. Families that already receive subsidies will not face changes until July, according to Reg Griffin, chief communications officer for the Department of Early Care and Learning. The CAPS program helps families pay child care costs, based on an income scale and the number of children involved.
