CHILD CARE SUBSIDY PROGRAM
The Resource Connection Child Care Resource & Referral Services administers several subsidy programs to help eligible families pay for child care services while they work, look for work, attend school or recover from incapacity. The Resource Connection's child care subsidy programs provide full or partial provider reimbursements for child care services. Providers must meet general qualifications in order to receive reimbursement for families served by The Resource Connection programs. To get started call us.
