1.5 Child Care Options
The Child Care Subsidy Program is primarily a voucher system that offers eligible families a range of child care options, including: • Licensed child development center-based care (Level I and Level II child care providers described below); • Licensed child development home-based care; or • In-home care provided in the child’s home. Any licensed child development facility can become a Level I child care provider by completing a Child Care Subsidy Provider Agreement. Level II child care providers are licensed child development facilities that meet additional criteria, receive training, and are authorized to determine eligibility for child care subsidies on behalf of OSSE.
