Subsidy Information
The Affordable Child Care Benefit is a monthly payment to help eligible families with the cost of child care. Factors like income, family size, and type of care determine how much support families may receive. Families need to renew their application every year. Effective September 1, 2024 decisions regarding eligibility for the Affordable Child Care Benefit are made based on the Early Learning and Child Care Act and the Early Learning and Child Care Regulation. They replace the Child Care Subsidy Act and the Child Care Subsidy Regulation.
Information for families
Last updated on December 13, 2024
Families can renew, apply for and track their application for the Affordable Child Care Benefit using My Family Services. Please check the status of your application using My Family Services before calling the Child Care Service Centre.
Starting September 1, 2024, the Affordable Child Care Benefit will be available to families when their child care is arranged or recommended by an Indigenous authority. This means families will receive the same support with their child care costs, regardless of whether their child care is arranged or recommended by the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Indigenous Child and Family Service Agencies, or under Indigenous law.
