Are parents obligated to subsidize the cost of care for their children that are 0-12?
Yes, parents will be expected to pay the wage established by the provider for child care services. This would be the wage that parents would pay for an average developing child. DFS has available a statewide listing of the average hourly wages for child care listed by county. Please contact your local DFS child care licensing office for more information.
