Authorized for 6 Months and Need to Reapply?
Enrolled in the Best Starts for Kids Subsidy Program and looking for documents?
The Best Starts for Kids Subsidy is a voter-approved initiative to help every child in King County access high-quality early learning opportunities.
This program is designed to support families who are ineligible for or not well-served by existing subsidy programs. This program prioritizes families experiencing challenges to accessing child care, and in doing so, seeks to advance equity and eliminate disparities.
