Aims of the Subsidy Program

- To serve and assist parents so they feel comfortable and have confidence in the care their child is receiving
- To offer respite and resources to families, parents, and children who may be at risk
- To monitor the progress of the children placed in licensed child care settings
- To act as a resource to child care centre staff and to home child care providers.
The Child Care Fee Subsidy Program pays for spaces in Child Care Centres, Nursery Schools, and Before and After Care School Programs that are licensed and monitored by the Ministry of Education as well as Authorized Camps and Children's Recreation Programs that are High Five accredited.
