Child Care Subsidy - Eligibility and enrollment of children under 5 years in Pennsylvania

Definitions: Child care subsidies are available to low-income working families to increase the opportunity for parents to obtain high-quality child care for their children while they work. The figures represent the number of children under 5 years who are eligible (i.e. have all available parents in the labor force and live below 200% poverty), the number and percent of infants, toddlers and preschool-age children enrolled through the Child Care Works subsidized child care system, and the percent of unserved, eligible children.

Data Source: PPC created an interactive map with statistics and fact sheets by county and legislative district. Please go to papartnerships.org/childcareinpa for links to the maps.
