The Child Care Subsidy Program assists families in paying child care costs for children under age 13 who are not eligible to attend public school during the part of the day when public education is available, or children with special needs under age 18 who reside with the applicant. These are the children enrolled in the Child Care Subsidy for the current fiscal year.

Virginia also issued benefits to all SNAP children under six. This is what is defined as "child care" P-EBT by USDA. It does not however reflect all of the children in child care but only the children that are under six and receiving SNAP benefits. The children were matched by their address and the corresponding school division's FIPS code
