Kansas Child Care Subsidy

Kansas's Child Care Subsidy (funded by the federal Child Care and Development Fund, CCDF) helps working or training parents afford quality child care. Parents pay a sliding-scale copay based on income; the state pays the rest directly to the provider. Covers infants, toddlers, preschool age, and school-age children (before/after school, summer).
