Eligibility:
 |
At the time of your telephone application, an in-person interview appointment will be scheduled.
Every effort is made to schedule
an appointment at your convenience.
All parents must verify that they are either employed or
registered in studies or a training program prior to eligibility
being approved.
You will be advised of the documents you must bring to your appointment.
The result of the calculations used on the Provincial Day
Nurseries Act "Income test", will bear out your
eligibility for child care fee assistance. A family may be
eligible for either partial or full subsidy or be deemed
"ineligible" and will know the outcome of their
assessment following the in-person interview. Interviews are
approximately one half hour in length.

centre or "in-home" caregiver.
- Ask questions!!!
- Ask about additional fees, i.e. registration fees,
"user fees", etc.

prominently posted.
- Check the playrooms and Parent Bulletin Boards for
activity schedules, daily menus, special events, etc.
- Be sure to obtain a Parent Handbook which will explain
the centre or agency policies and procedures.
