Subsidies can help pay for child care for qualified families.
Through contracts, OCCS has purchased high quality child care services for more than 11,000 children at child care centers and homes throughout Massachusetts. OCCS also purchases over 30,000 slots a year through vouchers that parents may use at a qualifying child care center or home.
