The BCCS Program supports low-income working families and maximizes parental choice by providing access to a variety of affordable, higher quality early care and afterschool programs, so they can work or attend a job training or educational program. It serves families with children under the age of 13 (or through age 18 if the child is mentally or physically incapable of self-care or is under court supervision)*. BCCS invests in quality child care programs by building the skills and qualifications of the early childhood workforce, supporting child care programs to achieve higher standards, and providing consumer education for families.
* CHILDREN MUST BE: U.S. CITIZENS OR QUALIFIED ALIENS, AND MUST RESIDE WITH PARENTS, LEGAL GUARDIANS, FOSTER PARENTS, OR INDIVIDUALS ACTING IN LOCO PARENTIS.
