The Child Care Financial Assistance Program provides financial aid to low-income families to afford quality child care. This program enables parents to work, attend school, or participate in job training programs while ensuring their children receive safe and nurturing care.

The Child Care Financial Assistance Program is crucial as it supports working families, contributing to economic stability and ensuring that children are in a conducive environment for their development. In Massachusetts, the average subsidy covers up to $300 per week per child, depending on family income and care requirements.

Eligibility for the program requires families to meet income guidelines and demonstrate a need for child care due to work, school, or job training. Applicants must provide proof of income, employment, or educational enrollment, and residency.
