How this list is made: Brooklyn daycares whose New York record says they accept child care subsidies, plus those that say they accept assistance. The New York license list we load does not record subsidies, so here this list has daycares that say they accept child care assistance. Accepting assistance says nothing about a daycare's own prices. A daycare without this tag may still accept assistance; ask.

Before you enroll

Paying for daycare in Brooklyn

  2. 2

    Most families pay a share of the cost. Ask the daycare whether it charges more than the state pays, and how much.

    Some daycares cap how many children on assistance they take. Ask whether a spot is open now.

    Open a listing for its state license and, where the state publishes it, the inspection record.

Questions

Questions

How many daycares that accept child care assistance are in Brooklyn?

44 daycares that accept child care assistance are listed in Brooklyn. Accepting assistance says nothing about a daycare's own prices. A daycare without this tag may still accept assistance; ask.

How do I apply for child care assistance in New York?

Apply through the Child Care Assistance Program, run by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, through local social services districts. It is for families receiving Temporary Assistance and low-income families who need help paying for child care and meet the eligibility requirements. Income limits change each year, so check the current limits on the state's site.

Is there free daycare?

Some families can get it. Head Start and Early Head Start are free for children from families who qualify, and some states waive the family's share of the cost for the lowest incomes. Ask your state's child care assistance office what you qualify for.

Does a daycare that accepts assistance cost more?

Not by itself. Accepting assistance means the daycare takes payments from the state program; its own prices vary like any daycare's. Ask whether it charges more than the state pays, and how much you would pay.

How does child care assistance work?

Each state runs a child care assistance program, paid for in part by the federal Child Care and Development Fund. Families who qualify by income, and usually by working, looking for work or going to school, get help paying a daycare that accepts it; the help is often called a voucher or subsidy. Most families pay a share called a copayment, set by the state. Apply through the New York child care assistance office.

Can I get free daycare?

Some families can. States may waive the copayment for families with the lowest incomes, and Head Start and Early Head Start are free for families who qualify. Ask your state's child care assistance office what you qualify for.

Are these daycares licensed in New York?

Every listing here comes from the New York child care license records.

Which of these Brooklyn daycares post their prices?

7 of the 44 list tuition; their listings here show it. Ask the others for their rates and how assistance applies.
