Paying for Childcare
We know that paying for childcare can be a challenge. Fortunately, help for qualifying families is available through a variety of confidential, state funded programs. Depending upon family size and income the following options are available to families:
1. Working families or parents attending school and training programs, including Reach-Up, high school students and college undergraduates.
Number of people | Income Eligibility |
Family of 3 or fewer: | Less than - $5195 gross monthly income |
Family of 4: | Less than - $6275 gross monthly income |
Family of 5: | Less than - $7355 gross monthly income |
Family of 6 or more: | Less than $8435 gross monthly income |
2. Families seeking employment: 12 weeks of funding are available.
3. Medical Need/Incapacity: With documentation from a physician or licensed psychologist, families experiencing incapacity from either a physical or emotional disability may qualify for support in paying for childcare.
For help with the programs 1, 2, and 3 contact Jane Reilly, at (802) 388-4304, or e-mail her at subsidy@mjccvt.org .
4. Family Support is designed for families experiencing significant stress.
Available for families who need help during particularly difficult times, family support helps qualifying families for a limited amount of time. A confidential form demonstrating the need for support is submitted along with the application.
