I get childcare vouchers. They were not difficult to get and they help dramatically. Our childcare cost is 1600 for two kids. (Cheap I know, but it’s in pg county and it’s actually great). Out of pocket, we pay 600 for both kids. Vouchers cover 1k. That amount can go up and down depending on the money the state is issued but it’s usually by 100 bucks. Our vouchers are issued from Montgomery county because that is where we live although the daycare is in pg county. All you have to do is fill out paper work. There are no in office or home visits.
What are the income limits? Does it depend on how many kids you have?

Chose for warmth, consistent two caregivers, ratio, price (we live in Arlington and this is the lowest I’ve found), not in a basement and instead has lots of light and space, big outdoor areas and lots of outdoor time, happy parents who all are sending their second child there. Also it felt really calm, the caregivers calm nature and confidence really transfers to the kids. It wasn’t busy busy like some places I went which is fine in older years,, but I liked the calm for these early years.
