About 8,000 Bay Area kids in low-income working families depend on the CalWorks Stage 3 child care program.
Last month, Governor Schwarzenegger eliminated $256 million in funding for the program to boost the state's emergency reserve fund.
The program was supposed to end on November 1, but the temporary injunction keeps the program running while the court considers whether the governor's cuts were legal. That injunction is set to expire Friday.
