I have a toddler and I want to put him in a daycare. I am a single mother and need help with daycare fees. I live in NY, and I have no idea where to begin.

Call a local welfare office & tell them you need help with daycare expenses. There is a program called subsidized childcare or something like that. They can give you the number. You can actually let a family member watch your child too & they will pay for that.

The welfare office is the basic place to start, but call daycare centers around you & ask if there are other agencies that help out any of their parents. Places like the Y and community centers usually have their own financial aid as well.

If I knew were in New York were you lived I could tell you. But since I dont go to the Department of Social Services and tell them that you are in need of daycare asistance.They go by your income 160% ratio to income I know this because I do day care and am paid by new york state dept of social services.It is a pain in the but during the whole process but well worth it in the end.
If you would like you can email me at bonz6936@yahoo.com if you want more information!
Good luck

Social Services can help with vouchers and with referrals to day cares in your area. If you already have a center in mind for your child, contact the head teacher and present your question to her. She will point you in the right direction.

Contact your Local Department of Human Services, and if no luck, I believe, you can dail 2-1-1 and it will help you contact a Office near you, and where. Good Luck.
