Interpreter services

Families are pre-screened over the phone or email.  Questions asked during screening include gross monthly family income, family size, name, address and phone number. If guidelines are met, family will be sent application and assigned a Parent Intake Representative (PIR) to help them through the application process.

Amount of the payment from the city of Seattle varies according to family income, size and the child's age. Family is responsible for paying the difference between the child care program's usual fee and the amount that the city of Seattle subsidizes. .
