Do you accept childcare subsidies or reimbursement programs?

Yes, Playto is open to working with various childcare subsidy programs and employer-sponsored reimbursement plans, but the availability can differ by location and program. Some of our centers are approved providers for state or city subsidy programs (for example, programs that assist families with daycare tuition, often based on income or need). If you receive a government childcare subsidy or voucher, the best course of action is to speak with the director of the specific Playto center you’re interested in. They will inform you if that center is currently able to accept the subsidy and guide you through any required paperwork. We have had families use subsidies, and we do our best to facilitate the process (like completing provider forms or tracking attendance as needed for the subsidy agency).

Similarly, if you have an employer reimbursement program or a Dependent Care FSA (Flexible Spending Account) through your workplace, we can assist in providing the documentation you need. Many employers simply need receipts or monthly statements to reimburse you from a childcare benefit account – we can supply those and sign any necessary forms verifying your payments. Some larger companies or government jobs have direct-pay arrangements or specific providers; just let us know what you need and we’ll work with you.

It’s important to note that not all centers can accept all subsidies due to licensing or capacity constraints set by the programs, but several Playto centers do offer subsidy options. We encourage transparency, so feel free to ask, and if we currently don’t partner with a particular program, we’ll let you know. We’re also continually exploring partnerships with more programs to support families. Our mission is to be as inclusive as possible, and we understand that financial assistance can make a huge difference for many families seeking quality childcare.

So, in short: yes, we likely can accept your subsidy or work with your reimbursement plan, but please reach out to your center of choice to confirm the details. We’ll happily walk you through the required steps. And if you’re not sure how subsidies work or if you might qualify, we might be able to point you to resources that can help determine that as well. We’re here to support you in accessing the care you need.
