Affordable Child Care Benefit
A parent may apply to the Ministry of Education and Child Care (MECC) to see if they are eligible for assistance. The enrolling parent is responsible for the application and renewal process. Full payment of the monthly child care fee is required until CCS is notified of ACCB approval. Any fees owing to CCS due to ACCB ineligibility, expiry, reduction or cancellation of funding are the responsibility of the enrolling parent and due upon notification.
Note: The ACCB rates reflect maximum聽. Entitlement is not guaranteed at the maximum rate as it is based on net income and family demographics.
