Current total funding amount is $40,533,520 minus the administration cost and earmarked funding for infant and toddler quality enhancement, child care resource and referral, and intake and eligibility services, which leaves $35,253,227 for direct child care services. At an annual average rate of $4,000 per child, these funds will serve approximately 8,813 children. | |
