Childcare assistance refers to various programs and services designed to help families afford the cost of caring for their children. This support can come in the form of financial aid, subsidies, or vouchers that reduce the expenses associated with daycare, preschool, or other childcare services. Many governments and organizations offer childcare assistance to low-income families, ensuring that children have access to safe and nurturing environments while their parents work or attend school. These programs aim to promote early childhood development and support working parents in balancing their responsibilities.
