The Inclusive Child Care Pilot Project Making child care accessible to families of children with special needs. Children will need extra supports or special accommodations to be cared for in a family child care home or child care center. The higher level of care may include a need for closer supervision, special medical procedures, adaptive equipment, or other special needs.
Families pay the provider's regular child care rates.
The subsidy is for those things that can not be covered within the provider's rates. The subsidy amount is different for each child, depending upon the child's individual needs. Together they identify ways to support the child's care. For example, they may ask a specialist working with the child to share information and advice with the child care provider. Twenty-five families will be served in the project.
