Subsidies for Parents
Families with a gross annual family income under $80,000 can benefit from more reductions in their daily fees. The Parent Subsidy Program is available to support low- and middle-income families with the cost of childcare for the portion that is charged by operators. For further information on this program you can visit the Parent Portal.
Non designated Early Learning and Child Care Facilities
However, low and middle income families registered in non-designated facilities have access to the Daycare Assistance Program to help cover cost of fees based on eligibility criteria. Parents can verify if they qualify for the Daycare Assistance Program by using this calculator.
A child-care facility can be licensed, but not designated as a New Brunswick Early Learning Centre or Home. Operators participate in a voluntary application process to obtain the designation. You can check the status of designation of your early learning and childcare facility here.
