Child Care Fee Subsidy

York Region helps make child care more affordable for families with low and moderate incomes. A child care fee subsidy helps reduce the amount of money that families have to pay licensed child care providers for child(ren) under the age of 13. This is a first-come-first-served program.

Priority is given to:

  • Families with a net income of $36,000 or less
