Child Care Subsidy
What does Child Care Subsidy Mean?
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a financial assistance program designed to help families cover the cost of child care. The amount of subsidy you receive depends on several factors, including:
- Your family’s income,
- The age of your child, and
- Your family’s engagement in paid or unpaid activities, such as employment or volunteer work.
Additional support is available for eligible families, including grandparents, great-grandparents, and those facing temporary financial hardship.
The subsidy is paid directly to child care providers, reducing the fees you need to pay.
Childcare subsidies make quality early education more affordable and accessible for families.
Childcare subsidies play a vital role in ensuring families can access affordable, high-quality early education.
By easing the financial burden of childcare costs, these subsidies enable more children to benefit from enriching learning experiences during their formative years, setting a strong foundation for future growth and development. Families can focus on their work or other responsibilities, knowing their children are in a safe and nurturing environment.
