Child Care Fee Subsidy

Child Care Fee Subsidy is a program that helps eligible families pay for child care costs at licensed programs in the community.  Limited child care fee subsidy is available for children from birth to 12 years who need to be in a child care program because parents are working, attending school, training or participating in upgrading skill courses. Eligible hours of child care are based on the parent's hours of work, school and participation in upgrading skill courses. The subsidy is provided to licensed child care programs on behalf of eligible families. Families needing additional information or to apply can contact the City of Cornwall, Child Care Services Division at 613-933-6282 ext. 3310 or open a new window to access information on the Child Care Fee Subsidy.
