Waitlist open for childcare subsidies under Best Starts for Kids

Shoreline, WALocal News

The Best Starts for Kids Child Care Subsidy Program has opened its waitlist, allowing families to apply for child care funding later this year. Interested individuals need to fill out a brief 5-minute form to be considered for a lottery selection, which will determine who may complete a full application for the subsidy. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee enrollment, but it is essential for those seeking assistance. Families who were previously on the waitlist must update their information to remain eligible for selection. The program aims to support families facing child care expenses, highlighting the importance of accessible child care in the community.

Financial assistance through this initiative can significantly ease the burden on working families. The selection process underscores the program's commitment to equitably distributing resources among applicants. Ultimately, the program seeks to enhance child care accessibility for eligible households.
