West Virginia's Child Care Program provides financial assistance to working parents or, in some cases, parents attending school, to cover the costs of certified family based or licensed center-based child care.
The program provides subsidies for child care to families who meet income requirements, promoting long-term self-sufficiency by enabling parents to work or attend education activities. Financial assistance covers the majority of the cost of direct care and protection of children while parents work, attend training or may otherwise be unable to provide care. This program strives to educate parents about the availability of quality child care, enhance children's early learning and support early learning programs working to improve the quality of child care services.
A statewide system of Child Care Resource and Referral agencies provide child care resource information and financial assistance to eligible families. The Child Care Resource and Referral agencies also educate consumers on selecting appropriate child care and refer parents to child care providers in their area.
