The Child Care Subsidy is a monthly payment that helps British Columbia families meeting the costs of childcare. The eligibility is calculated based on your income and family size. The Child Care Subsidy can be used to help pay for the eligible types of care.

If you have a child with special needs, you may be eligible for the Special Needs Supplement (SNS). This program may entitle you up to $150 per month towards the cost of the childcare space fee. The total amount of the subsidy and the Special Needs Supplement may not exceed the childcare space fee.
