The Virgin Islands Department of Human Services Office of Child Care and Regulatory Services reminds all childcare providers that in order to receive financial disbursements such as monthly subsidy payments or grant awards the client must register with the government and have an executed provider agreement in place.
The Office of Child Care and Regulatory Services is asking childcare providers to ensure that they have a 2023 Provider Agreement in place to receive 2023 payments and benefits. For further information, contact the office at 772-7147 on St. Croix or 774-0930, ext. 4180 or 4184 on St. Thomas/St. John or visit www.dhs.gov.vi to view or download the provider checklists.
Child Care and Regulatory Services licenses and certifies all child care providers in the territory and provides support for quality improvement in all sectors, public and parochial. It assists low-income working families or families entering the workforce by providing access to affordable, high-quality early care and after-school programs in the Virgin Islands via childcare subsidies. Grant awards and other assistance are available for all childcare providers, not just subsidy recipients.
