What features characterize the state's child care program, and how is it funded and administered according to the information provided?

As of December $2000,$ about $550,000$ children participated in state$-$certified day$-$care programs, with funding and oversight provided at the county level through state$-$allocated block grants that respond to local needs.

The state program is limited to public assistance recipients, primarily supports child care in New York City only, and relies exclusively on state funds without any federal contributions.

Child care funding is limited to rural areas of the state, supports a small number of children, and operates under rigid guidelines that prevent local adjustments to funding or program administration.

The program restricts eligibility to families above a certain income threshold, exclusively funds child care for long$-$term welfare dependents, and allocates resources based on fixed quotas per county without flexibility.
