Overview Making the Right Decision One of the most important decisions you will ever make as a parent is choosing quality child care for your child. Every child is special and unique and deserves the best start possible. Studies reveal that a high quality child care program will help prepare a child for school readiness by increasing their chances to succeed. Research also indicates that employers benefit when their employees' children are in quality child care arrangements because parents are more secure and stable in their work environment. This makes parents more productive; thus, making a win-win situation for everyone: parents, children and employers. How Can the Division of Child Development Help Me?

83. Financial Assistance Overview parents are free to choose a child care arrangement that best fits their needsas long as the provider chosen participates in the Subsidized child care http://ncchildcare.dhhs.state.nc.us/parents/pr_sn2_ov_fa.asp

Overview How Does Child Care Financial Assistance in North Carolina Work? North Carolina's Division of Child Development uses a combination of state and federal funds to provide subsidized child care services to eligible families through a locally administered state-supervised voucher system. Annually each county receives a combination of state and federal funding from the Division of Child Development for subsidized child care services. The amount of funding allocated to each county is determined by legislation. If the county department of social services or other local purchasing agency does not have enough funding to serve all families who apply for subsidized child care, the agency may establish priorities for services. For example, an agency may choose to give priority to working parent(s) or families who need child care to support child protective services. If a family meets the eligibility criteria, the state of North Carolina pays a portion of the cost of child care. Parents are free to choose a child care arrangement that best fits their needs as long as the provider chosen participates in the Subsidized Child Care Program. The amount the state pays for child care depends on: The family's situational criteria The family's income The cost of the child care provided This page has been visited 33320 time(s).

This neurobiological disorder can interfere with a child's ability to communicate, learn and fit in with others. A growing number of parents who care for these children believe that vaccines are to blame for the disorder, and went to Capitol Hill to testify before a House committee. NPR's Michelle Trudeau and Vicky Que report on the vaccine connection to autism (there's no credible scientific evidence linking vaccines to autism), and the research into other possible causes, such as genetics. 1252 Realaudio broadcast http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1072605
