Parent fees for center and school-age care pay for most caregiver wages in these two programs. These fees are based on a sliding scale that is determined according to family income in order to ensure that military personnel with the lowest incomes can afford child care. For example, military families in the lowest two income categories ( $ 0 to $ 23, 000 and $ 23, 001 to $ 34, 000 ) paid $ 38 to $ 62 per child per week for center care during the 1998-99 school year.
