Rates for the Affordable Child Care Benefit
Affordable Child Care Benefit rates are based on the type of child care provided.
The maximum monthly funding amounts below apply on the first day of the month in which a child reaches the age of 19 months, 29 months and 37 months, as applicable.
School age below means the child will have reached age 5 on or before December 31 of that school year.
If your child is school age but is not enrolled in school you may be eligible for full day rates for the type of care. Include this information in your application or contact the Child Care Service Centre.
