Action 3.4
Raise Child Care Subsidy Rates
Pathways Recommendation
Why This Matters
Raising child care subsidy rates enables providers to serve more children while ensuring that this care is high-quality, affordable, and provided by well-paid and professionally supported providers.1 Subsidy reimbursement rates are crucial for helping providers cover the costs of their services. Increasing the rate also encourages providers to accept more children using the subsidy, thus expanding access to quality programs for families living with low income.2
