School Aged means a child who is at least of sufficient age to have attended the first day of kindergarten OR is eligible to enter kindergarten within the next four months, but is younger than 11 years of age. The state has selected May 10 as the date that children who will be eligible to attend kindergarten in the fall can be counted as school age. Eligible to attend kindergarten means the child is five by September 1. Children who are five by September 1 can be counted as school age beginning May 10, about four months before they would be eligible to attend kindergarten. Childcare is provided to only related children for any length of time.
Relatives refer only to, nieces, nephews, step-children, own children, and grandchildren.
