Definition
Wisconsin Shares is Wisconsin's child care subsidy program for low-income families. Children in this program are eligible to receive care in licensed, certified, and “provisionally” certified settings.
The number of children in Wisconsin Shares represents an average of the number of children in this program in each month of the year. Many children do not receive subsidies for the entire year. In some cases, data are not available (and are listed with N.A.).
These data may have been influenced by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, starting in 2020.
Data Source
Data are from the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families' Shares Children Served by Local Agency report.
