Annual applications for families who rely on financial aid from the city of Aspen’s Kids First childcare program are due May 1.
The city and Kids First offer a financial aid program yearly in order to assist working families and help offset the cost of childcare, according to a press release. All families, including those who currently receive Kids First financial aid, must apply or reapply by the annual deadline.
Assistance will begin June 1.
“Kids First is a dedicated early childhood resource focused on supporting quality and affordable childcare options for families in Aspen,” the release reads. “Recognizing the financial challenges that working families face in securing childcare, Kids First strives to ease the burden through financial assistance.”
