Paying for child care

 

CHILD CARE FEE SUBSIDY

Child care fee subsidy is a program that is intended to help families with the cost of their child care expenses. It supports eligible families by paying a portion of their total licensed child care costs as funding permits.

 

Fee subsidy offers an essential support for many families, helping them balance the demands of a career and family while working, pursuing education or participating in a training program.

At this appointment you will need to provide documentation:

In addition, Children's Services may request: rent receipt or mortgage information, copies of birth certificates for parents and children, proof of registration in a training or education program, child care custody information, marital status verification, recent pay stub, immigration papers. Applicants must declare all adults living in the same home and common law relationships.

Child care subsidy is also available to Ontario Works participants if attending school or participating in employment related activities. Ontario Works participants must contact their Case Manager or Employment Support Worker to discuss eligibility.

Finding a licensed child care centre

 

At this time the Cochrane District does not have a central waiting list for child care. Each location hosts their own waitlist. Waitlist varies as it goes by a variety of factors. Just because you call on a certain date may not necessarily get you a spot. For example, a centre may have a spot now that is full time. If you only need one day a week, you will not be selected over someone who requires a full time spot. Each centre has their own process for their waitlist. We recommend that you call the centres you wish your child to go to as soon as possible and that you inquire what their process is for their waitlist. No child care centre should charge a fee for their waitlist as it against the regulations in the Child Care and Early Years Act. Please find a list below of the current child care centre’s in our district.
