This is the question of the day. In fact, this is the question of the decade. It is one of the first things that pops into the mind of an expectant parent. If you’ve just taken a pregnancy test and your mind is worried about how to afford childcare, you need to slow down. The very first thing you need to do is confirm your pregnancy! We can help with that. We provide FREE pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and options consultations.

Once you know you have a viable pregnancy, we can get back to the issue of childcare…

It doesn’t matter if you are single or married, a teenager, a young adult, or a millennial. It doesn’t matter if you’re in high school, college, in the military, or if you just started a new job in your chosen career field. Being able to afford childcare is a huge concern. This is especially true if you are facing an unplanned pregnancy.

If you are facing a pregnancy and you do not have family members or friends who can help you with childcare, don’t panic. The Virginia Childcare Subsidy program can help.

The Virginia Childcare Subsidy program helps to cover the cost of daycare for eligible parents who work or participate in an educational program. This program makes it possible for parents to afford childcare. There are over 2500 childcare providers in the state of Virginia that participate in the Childcare Subsidy program. The program helps to ensure that you can not only afford childcare but also that you can select a place or person who will provide the kind of quality care your child deserves. The program even provides a childcare checklist for parents to use while touring centers and interviewing providers.

Another great benefit of this program is that it provides educational resources to the parent that go beyond just helping you afford and choose a quality childcare provider. For example, parents have access to resources and information on childhood growth and development, maintaining child health and safety, and other important topics.

For many people, having access to affordable daycare is the key that opens the door for them to be able to do more than just dream about their goals. It allows the parent to take advantage of opportunities to help make their dreams a reality. Whether the dream is to attend classes to obtain skill-based certifications, pursue a college degree, or immediately enter the workforce, being able to afford childcare allows parents to achieve their goals.

Here at Alcove Health, we want to be a part of your plan to achieve your goals. Not only can we provide you with a lab–grade pregnancy test and an ultrasound, but we can also help you get connected with the right resources to find out more about how you CAN afford childcare – quality childcare for your little one.
