The Delaware Department of Health and Social Services and Governor John Carney announced additional investments in child care for the upcoming year.
Aside from expanding eligibility for Purchase of Care to 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, the state will be capping family co-payments at 7% of family income while removing all co-pays for families below 150% of the federal poverty level.
Delawareans can also expect compensated absence days to jump from five to 10.
These investments' goals are to have families pay less out of pocket for childcare.
Governor Carney says that investing in children under five is a priority, as those first few years of kids' lives are imperative to their future development and success.
