As parents face lay offs and declining income, they may be tempted to pull children out of child care. This can often have unintended consequences for their children including stress brought about by the transition, as children benefit from stability in their child care.
Many state and local governments provide child care subsidies to help working parents afford child care. Even going from a double-income to single-income household may qualify you – and your children – for certain programs.
4C for Children can help you determine if you qualify for some form of financial assistance to help cover child care costs so you can keep working -- or looking for work.
