About the Program
This program provides funding to enhance the quality, affordability, and supply of child care available to Louisa County's families. Child care programs are child-centered, family-focused services that support the family goals of economic self-sufficiency and child development by providing substitute parental care, protection, guidance, and early childhood education.

- To provide consumer education to help parents make informed choices about child care.
- To ensure that subsidy dollars are provided to the neediest families.
- To enhance the quality and increase the supply of child care for all families. To improve the coordination among child care programs and early childhood development programs.
