There are many different types of assistance for working families. Some California families qualify for state subsidies, tax credits and other types of aid. The California Department of Education distributes most of the child care subsidies in California. But each county has a different subsidy plan. Some local governments, companies and foundations also provide financial help for low-income families. There are also tax credits for working families with kids. San Francisco Centralized Eligibility List provides information on a large number of subsidized child care programs. There is also help with “lunch money”. Some child and family care is subsidized by the federal food program. You can usually find this answer at the preschool website or ask the question on your visit. Money for food is not distributed by individual center but by zip code. Click on the link below to learn about federal food subsidies for kids. Childcare Subsidy Agency
