Child Care Subsidies are now available across New York City. These vouchers can be used for any type of childcare provider and can save parents an average of $15,000 per year (per child) in childcare expenses. Parents must be living in New York City and meet income restrictions.
There is also a new Facilitated Enrollment Scholarship Program. The Scholarship Program serves families who are not eligible to apply under current subsidy/Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) guidelines and includes families earning up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), episodic workers, and undocumented children. This scholarship can be used for any type of licensed childcare provider and can save parents an average of $17,000 per year (per child) in childcare expenses.
