Park City Municipal has partnered with Upwards, a national child care network that will process applications and distribute funds to regulated providers.
The Park City Council allocated $1 million to support child care during the budget process after hearing from many families about increased tuition and long waitlists to enroll. Federal funding for child care that came as a result of the pandemic expired in 2023.
The program offers two different scholarships for families, and a financial incentive to providers.
The assistance is available on a first-come, first-served basis each month starting Jan. 1.
People can find out if they qualify, learn more about the program, and apply on Upwards' website or app.
