Paying for Early Care & Education
Paying for Early Care & Education
High-quality early care and education is one of the best investments you can make for your child. However, child care can be a big expense for families. Quality early care and education requires low child to adult ratios, well-trained staff and an environment that includes a wide range of toys, furniture and materials to help children learn and grow. Each of these factors is reflected in the price that a program charges. There are programs that can reduce the costs.
