How long is the wait?

The wait varies. Unfortunately it is not possible for us to give you an approximate time. Referrals are only made when funding becomes available or when there is an opening in a subsidized child care program. Referrals start with the lowest income, then continue until the funding runs out or the space becomes filled. Placement on the eligibility list is not a guarantee of services.
