The army will subsidize care for children from lower income Homes less than $34,000 per year if the care provider signs statement of agreement with the Community to provide services at the regulated rate. Care givers also can receive partial subsidies for Chil Dren from the top three income categories. Specifically the army will help offset food costs with $50 per month payment for each child and will reimburse insurance payments care givers must make to establish their daycare  said this new system represents a sweeping attempt to standardize How much Money the army pays Home providers for talking care of children. The changes follow recent federally mandated rate for child care in Community Day care centers. The subsidy program according to Gingras is de signed to keep Home Day care prices within 10 percent of the prices charged at Community care centers. Since Usa eur began subsidies for the Home Day care program in 1990, virtually All decisions about subsidies were left to local$23,000 $18 $23,001-$34,000 $199 $34,001-$44,000 $258 $44,001-$55.000 $308 $55,001 and up $307 subsidies subsidy payments Tor family child Cere Patron Art based on the difference Between what to-./.

As Well As standardizing the family child care pro Gram throughout the command the new regulation could help ease a child care crunch in Usa eur Gingras said. One of our goals is to increase the number of car providers and standardizing the program lets people know they have Tome sort of consistency Gingras said. We want to be Able to provide a newly arrived family with Day care within three Days of arrival the effect of the policy on the providers will vary by Community dingies  communities such As the 53rd area support group which has its Headquarters in bad Kreuz Nach Are already implementing the command guidelines. According to child care coordinator de Strinko the53rd ask established new guidelines based on a draft of the new Usa eur regulation sent to each support group about two months ago. ,. What we tried to do is to make parents not Patmore than what they pay in a child care Center Strinko said. Now we have a lot of providers joining us be cause they see it As a fair  exercising local commander options the bad Kreuz Nach Community focused its attention on finding More providers who will offer hourly drop in care Strink said. We have a need for it Here so we elected to subsidize our care givers to about $100 each month if they provide hourly drop in care even if they Don t have an customers for the time they Are subsidized Strinko  plan won t make everybody Happy but it is the fairest one the command could come up with Gingra said.
