Deadline for childcare assistance August 1

Families in Aspen seeking financial relief for childcare costs have until Aug. 1 to apply for assistance through the city’s childcare financial aid program. 

The program, offered in partnership with Kids First, is designed to support working families by easing the burden of childcare expenses.

Kids First, a city-run early childhood resource, focuses on expanding access to high-quality, affordable childcare across the community. Recognizing the strain that childcare costs can place on working households, the organization provides need-based financial assistance as part of its broader mission to support family wellbeing and early childhood development.

Approved applicants will begin receiving assistance starting Sept. 1.

Families interested in applying can find more information and the application form at http://www.aspen.gov/316/Financial-Aid.
