If you can even find one to get into.

Previously there was a grant that everyone qualifies for regardless of income at any licensed day care or home. In addition to that there was a subsidy you could apply for based on income. They are now getting rid of the subsidy portion and just doing a flat rate for everybody. That new flat rate works out to be a higher number for lower income families who qualified for the full subsidy, and a lower number for higher income families who partially qualified or didn’t qualify at all.
A family of two teachers will now pay 350ish per month per kid, whereas before they would have paid more due to not qualifying for that full subsidy.
