The Vermont Child Care Subsidy Program is designed to help your family pay for the child care services you need...
 
To be eligible for a child care subsidy, your family must:
  1. Have a reason ( or service need) for child care, AND
  2. Meet certain income guidelines.

What are service needs?

  • Employment - This is any activity for which you, as primary caregiver receive wages, at or above the minimum wage.
  • Self-Employment  - Self-employment is any approved business activity that nets a monthly income of at least $100.
  • Seeking Employment - Seeking employment is an activity recognized as necessary to obtain employment.
  • Training or Education - This is any activity that is likely to lead to employment within one year of completion of the activity (excludes volunteer work & post-baccalaureate education).
  • Specialized Child Care - This is a prevention & early intervention service designed to reduce stress for your family and your children and to promote positive child development. This may be authorized after a confidential application has been completed & reviewed. Specialized child care includes services for children with special needs.
