What is a child care subsidy?
Advanced Care & Education Daycare believes that we have an obligation for the welfare of our young children and that our quality of service to children and their parents is in our highest interest.
Child care subsidy is the amount of money that the Ontario government grants to families to assist them with paying for child care. The subsidy is paid directly to the child care services and transferred to the families as a fee reduction.
Your subsidy fee is based on your most recent Tax Return that you have received from the Canadian Revenue Agency (the CRA).
Who qualifies for subsidized daycare in Ontario?
To apply for the subsidized daycare in Ontario, you must be currently employed, job searching, enrolled in school or an approved training program.
The Child Care Fee Subsidy reduces the fees of child care services for families that have children under the age of 13. Additionally, if your child is enrolled in any of the following child care services, you may be eligible for subsidized child care in Ontario:
- A licensed child care program,
- A children’s recreational after-school program,
- Day camp or overnight camp,
- A before- and after-school program that is directly operated by the school board.
How much does a daycare subsidy cover?

How do I calculate the amount of subsidy funding I will receive?
The amount of subsidy funding will depend on your family’s adjusted net income.
First, you must calculate your net income by directly taking the amount on line 236 off the Canadian Revenue Agency’s (CRA) personal income tax form and subtract the amount you are receiving from the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) payments.
