Finding the right caregiver for your child means thinking about the needs of both your child and the family when deciding if a particular setting meets those needs. When searching for a caregiver, allow yourself plenty of time - at least two to three months. Every working parent wants quality childcare for their children. Your household income determines if you re eligible for this program and the amount you will pay each month. This program is not part of the TANF 5-year time limit and is not welfare.
Parents choose their own childcare provider.
Working Connections Child Care pays providers in licensed family childcare homes and childcare centers that accept WCCC subsidies. Even if your provider is unlicensed, a WCCC subsidy may be available to you. You can contact your local CSO for information on help for paying for child care, public assistance, food stamps, medical assistance, emergency needs, or how to contact other DSHS programs in your community. Licensing Information and Complaints DSHS Licensed Childcare Information System Ask about the licensing history of a child care provider, report a problem or suspected abuse, ask questions about rights and responsibilities, discover ways to pay for child care for low-income families, and more. The caregiver is responsible for the complete care of the children of the employer.
