St. Raymond’s Childcare Sponsorship Program
with Super Start Preschool
Many of the hardworking mothers at SRS receive a state childcare subsidy— but it doesn’t cover the full cost of quality childcare. This financial gap can be the difference between a mother putting her dreams on hold or continuing her education or career path.
For $120/mo*, the St. Raymond’s Childcare Sponsorship Program covers the difference for a child, ensuring that child receives quality Christian childcare while the mother can focus on building a brighter future for both of them! With this program the child is educated, the mother advances in her journey to stability, and the community grows.
The Annual Need
The gap in annual support for one child is:
$4,800

State Tax Credit Applied

The Net Impact Cost
The total cost to you, after applying the credit, is:
$1,440
Annual Breakdown:
Your sponsorship is secured for just $120/month.
Summary: A $4,800 sponsorship fully covers a child’s annual gap, but the state tax credit reduces the effective cost to just **$1,440** after tax returns. *Tax credit is subject to state rules and requires sufficient state tax liability paid during the year. Consult your tax professional for details.
