Program to Help Pay Child Care Costs

Montgomery County’s Working Parents Assistance Program Available to Help Pay Child Care Costs

Montgomery County’s Working Parents Assistance (WPA) Program helps eligible County residents pay for child care while parents work or attend school. 

The program supports families with children from birth to age 13, or up to age 19 for children with disabilities who require care. To qualify, applicants must meet income guidelines and work at least 25 hours per week, attend school full time, or a combination of both. 

Immigration status is not a requirement for participation. Applications for the WPA program can be completed online.

Excellent program, Roy. Immigration status not being a requirement raised my eyebrows.

Excellent community spotlight, Mr. Roy. Accessible child care is such a vital piece of economic infrastructure—it allows parents to stay in the workforce and continue their education with peace of mind. Providing a direct, online application process makes it so much easier for eligible families to get the support they need.

This is a nice program for people in your area since childcare is so expensive.  I have heard that a lot of women just stay home to take care of the kids because the amount they would earn at a job is the same as what the cost of childcare would be, haha.
