The Child Care Funding program provides assistance with paying for child care expenses to low-income parents who are working or preparing to enter the workforce.
Wisconsin Shares is available for eligible families that are in work, work-related, or school/training activities.
The Child Care subsidy payment depends on the household's income, hours of care needed, how many children will need care in the family, what are the provider's rate, and other factors. All families are expected to pay a portion of the expense or co-pay directly to the provider.
The childcare subsidy can only pay to childcare providers who are licensed or certified. It is the parents' or relative caretakers' responsibility to find the provider they wish to use. To obtain information about child care providers in your area, or if you are interested in becoming a child care provider, please contact Community Coordinated Child Care (4-C) at (608) 271-9181, or visit their website for more information.
