The Day Care Program provides reduced fees to eligible families with a gross household income below $80,000. To receive a reduction in fees you must and submit the Reduced Fee Eligibility Form. This form must be completed for the summer and school year programs, include all necessary verification and be on file with the Extended Day Care Office to be considered for reduced fee eligibility. All applicants will also be required to complete a Consent To Exchange Information Form to further verify income information. These forms must be printed and submitted. They cannot be submitted online. Fee reductions will take place at the next payment period after verification. Re-certification is done annually regardless of the start date, and changes occur throughout the year.

The Day Care Program works with the City of Falls Church Housing and Human Services Division to meet the financial needs of our families. Please contact the Housing and Human Services Division at 703-248-5005 for information about other services available to Falls Church City residents.
