Child care is a massive expense in the best of times, but as the pandemic surges across Wyoming, those costs have grown.
The Child Care Relief Program will award roughly $1.25 million to more than 1,000 Wyoming families in the coming weeks, but the program is no longer accepting applications.
The program is funded by the state s federal CARES Act funding and is run by the state Department of Family Services. The department is hoping this money will help parents cover holding fees, babysitters, and other costs associated with child care.
Roxanne O Connor, support services senior administrator with the Department of Family Services, said the current program is out of money, but the demand is only increasing.
The Wyoming Department of Family Services announced on Thursday that funds provided by the CARES Act, as part of the Wyoming Child Care Relief Program, have been expended and that the program is now closed.
