Government aid for Child Care - General Parenting

nana_bear15 · 01-28-2009, 04:45 PM

Just wondering if anyone knows the website for this. I am thinking about going back to work, and it is expensive as heck on base, so I was told their is a government aid for off base.

Childcare subsidy programs are offered through a variety of agencies. What state are you in?

I tried about 2 years ago to get assistance for daycare. And the requirements for MD are crazy. I had to make less then 19,000 a year to qualify for daycare vouchers.

Go to your local Department of Social Services. They will help you.

So, I snooped and see you are in NC (Lejeune, right?)
Try this site - google won't let me view it right now, but it likely has the information to get you in touch with your local office:
ncchildcare.dhhs.state.nc.us/parents/pr_sn2_ov_fa.asp
As noted above, it is an income based program with the guidelines being based on the poverty guidelines similar to other assistance programs (food stamps, etc) so you may not qualify, but it's a place to start.
Also, even though you want off base care, you can seek some guidance and resource information from the base resources.

this is for non- base child care- since you already get a reduced price for military CDC's this is to help cover the cost difference for private care.
maybe this will help.
