Children’s Council Launches Child Care Financial Assistance Eligibility Calculator

By Claudia Quiñonez
Children’s Council Interim Director of Community, Innovation and Impact

Children’s Council is pleased to officially launch our Child Care Financial Assistance Eligibility Calculator, allowing families to go online at any time to learn about their child care financial assistance options and how to apply.

The beginning of the year is a perfect time to start preparing child care arrangements for the next school year. Learning if you qualify for child care financial assistance is extremely important, especially as parents may be returning to work or perhaps their living situation has changed.

To access our innovative new calculator, families can simply go to www.childrenscouncil.org/subsidycalculator and enter:

• Child’s date of birth
• Family size and income
• If family is a San Francisco resident or not
• If family has received child care financial assistance in the past or not

Based on the information entered, the calculator provides customized information on child care financial assistance options and steps for a successful application.

Although Children’s Council is not currently offering in-person services, our staff is always available to support families’ needs. Give us a call at 415.343.3300 or email rr@childrenscouncil.org.
