Horizon / For parents / Subsidies for families

Affordability Grant

Allocated based on the child’s age and automatically deducted from the monthly fees in the table of fees.

The amount of the Affordability Grant is decided by the government. This is based on the monthly number of hours of attendance in the center:

In our centers, this corresponds to:

• Part-time: Registered for 2 or 3 days per week
• Full-time: Registered for 4 or 5 days per week

Please consult your center’s fees table for the applicable amounts.

Child Care Subsidy

Only school-aged children (registered in an out-of-school care program) are admissible for the Child Care Subsidy.

To receive the additional family subsidy, the family must apply online once their registration is confirmed. See below for more information. The subsidy is based on the family’s annual revenue, the parents’ situation and the number of hours completed in the center.

The amount offered for this is not fixed as it is based on the child’s attendance which is declared to the government each month, pulled from the hours entered in the center’s attendance tracking system.

ATTENTION, in your application, you must enter the official program name of the program your child is registered in along with the program number (see the “Official Program Names and Numbers” at the bottom of this page).

***It is very important to enter the correct information for each child, otherwise your child may not be declared in the correct program and adjustments will have to be made, which risks lengthening the process.***
