Child care for Westchester working parents is about to be a lot more affordable thanks to historic funding by Westchester County.
Recognizing that the cost of child care is a burden for so many Westchester families and often a barrier to employment, the County raised income eligibility for its Child Care Subsidy Program, and then worked with the Council to create the Westchester Works Program to help working parents at even higher incomes, up to 85% of State Median Income.
Once “over-income” for child care financial assistance at $34,841, a family of two can now have a gross income of up to $60,674 and be eligible for the Westchester Works Child Care Scholarship Program.
As of April 1st, the Council is accepting applications for the new Westchester Works Child Care Scholarship Program.
Applications are available in both English and Spanish:

On behalf of the Council staff, our Board of Directors, and Westchester’s hard-working parents, we want to extend our thanks once again to County Executive George Latimer, the Board of Legislators and the Department of Social Services for this tremendous investment in our workforce of today and tomorrow!
