The Child Care Subsidy Program

Child Care Subsidy Program

Where can I find information about the Child Care Subsidy Program?

The Child Care Subsidy Program is administered by the five regional offices of the Department of Community Services, Seniors and Labour to help parents with the cost of licensed child care. Full or partial subsidy is available.

Subsidies are used to pay tuition costs for early childhood programs licensed by the Child Care Facilities Board. This includes private day care centres, Early Years Centres, infant homes, and before and after school programs.

Any Island family needing child care may apply. Reasons for placement include: parents working or in training programs; special needs of the child; children at risk; emergency medical needs of parents; school readiness and parents waiting for English as a second language program.

The amount of subsidy, however, depends on the net monthly family income, age of dependants and size of family unit.
