Childcare & school aged programs
Childcare fee subsidy is a program that is intended to help families with the cost of their child care expenses. It supports eligible families by paying a portion of their total licensed childcare costs as funding permits.
For information regarding childcare subsidies or lists of licensed child care facilities in your neighbourhood, please contact:
For more information on fees for childcare programs and before and after school programs please contact the childcare providers directly.

Each Spring, a survey entitled “The Childcare Program Needs Survey” is available to all families in the region in both digital and paper versions. The goal of this survey is to understand the needs for childcare programs for school-aged children and to assist with child care program and service planning. The data collected from this survey is used to determine childcare program feasibility and the types of programs required.
Many families benefit from childcare and family support services located within our school buildings. While each location may offer different programs, all are designed to provide children and families with an opportunity to learn and grow, providing a more convenient approach to school and childcare, with fewer transitions for children and families.
