If a child requires exceptionally close care or supervision the Inclusive Child Care Project may be able to help. There are subsidies that could help the child’s provider reduce the number of slots they fill in order to keep ratios lower for a smaller number of children. If you have children in your program that require additional care or who have high needs, this project may be able to assist you.
