 The State of Connecticut announced in August 2021 that it has received child care relief funding through the American Rescue Plan Act. These additional funds have allowed Care 4 Kids to temporarily expand child care assistance to families with income up to 60% of the state median income (SMI), increased from up to 50% SMI, at application.

This increase in income eligibility will only remain in effect while funding received through the American Rescue Plan Act is available.  Please visit the Care 4 Kids website for additional information https://www.ctcare4kids.com.
