Families with a gross income (before taxes) at or below 185% of the federal poverty level (FPL) may be eligible. Once found eligible, the family may continue to receive assistance until income reaches 85% of State Median Income.

Under Wisconsin law, no person may provide care and supervision for 4 or more children under the age of 7 for less than 24 hours a day unless that person obtains a license to operate a child care center from the Department.

The average cost of a child care provider in Wisconsin is $13.20 per hour. With the minimum wage in Wisconsin being $7.25 per hour, you can expect to pay a hourly rate between $7.25 and $20. A child care provider's hourly rate can depend on their location, responsibilities, qualifications, and the type of care needed.

It is legal to provide child care without a certification or license. People can care for three children unrelated to them under state law. A fourth child would require certification or licensing.

Before you can receive Wisconsin Shares Child Care Subsidy, you must meet the eligibility guidelines. To become eligible, your family's monthly gross income must not be more than 185% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) (Wisconsin Shares Co-Payment Schedule ).

The Wisconsin Shares child care subsidy program invests in eligible working families to help make quality child care more accessible and affordable. How? By covering a portion of their monthly child care costs.

There are two types of child care settings: Family Child Care and Child Care Centers.

The state will pay for a portion — or all — of eligible children's child care expenses and fees. It will pay for care in a licensed center or home-based program, and it will also allow family members, neighbors or friends of an eligible family to register and get approved to be paid for providing child care.
