Who can use this

Families with children aged 3-5 are eligible, particularly those with incomes at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Children in foster care, homeless children, and those from families receiving public assistance (such as TANF, SNAP, or SSI) qualify regardless of income. Families with higher incomes may also qualify based on specific needs, although priority is given to those with greater needs.
