Affording Child Care

Child care is expensive. Costing more than in-state college tuition, on average, child care takes up around 25% of a household’s annual income in Montana.

Child Care Connections’ offers a variety of resources to help you afford child care including the Best Beginnings Child Care Scholarship and Special Needs Subsidy that we administer for the State. Additionally, we offer privately funded gap  child care scholarships and one-time support opportunities.
