Many families have concerns about the affordability of child care. Our agency offers financial assistance to cover all or a portion of child care costs through subsidy programs. This assistance is available for low income parents, guardians and foster parents in Essex County. We believe these subsidies will help increase economic independence in families and improve the development of Essex County children, the community we proudly serve!
