High-Quality Child Care Accessible
At Kids Space Early Learning Center, we are committed to making high-quality child care accessible to every family in Spanaway. We understand the financial challenges many parents face when securing care for their children, which is why we proudly accept and assist with various child care subsidies.
From state subsidies to Child Care Aware for military families, we guide you through every step of the process—from scheduling a tour to completing the necessary paperwork. Additionally, we offer flexible payment options, including private pay, to ensure child care remains affordable for all families.
Our goal is simple: to provide every child with the opportunity to thrive in a nurturing, educational environment, regardless of financial circumstances.

Financial Relief Through Child Care Tax Credits for 2024
Tax credits can ease the financial burden of child care expenses. Updated for the 2024 fiscal year, these credits provide families with additional resources to manage costs. Here’s an overview of the most relevant tax credits:
Federal Child Tax Credit (CTC)
For the year 2024, the CTC remains up to $2,000 per qualifying child, with the refundable portion increased to $1,700. This adjustment allows eligible taxpayers an additional $100 per child. Specific criteria must be met to qualify for this credit [IRS].
Adoption Tax Credit
Adoption-related expenses can qualify for a credit worth up to $16,810 in 2024, with MAGI limits up to $292,150 for full credit eligibility. This non-refundable credit can be carried forward for up to five years if it exceeds your tax liability [IRS].
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
The EITC for 2024 is set at a maximum of $7,830 for families with three qualifying children. This refundable credit aims to support low to moderate-income families and individuals, with specific income thresholds in place [IRS].
