Child Care Fee Subsidy

A Child Care Fee Subsidy through the City of Toronto helps a family with the cost of licensed child care. Plan to apply for subsidy well in advance of when you will require assistance, as there is a wait list for this funding.  A family who needs help with the cost of licensed child care for their children must meet the following criteria:

  • Your family must live in Toronto or is moving to Toronto.
  • Each parent/guardian is either:  employed; in school or planning to go to school.
  • Each parent/guardian has submitted their most recent Income Tax Return.  If you are a new immigrant to Canada this year or if you are under 18 years of age, you may apply without your most recent Tax Return.

CUPE Local 3903 Subsidy

CUPE 3903 and YUCDC have an agreement that provides our members a childcare fee subsidy. Members must meet the CUPE 3903 eligibility criteria for current or political membership, as outlined in Article 6.f, of the CUPE 3903 bylaws. Members must provide one of the following documents for eligibility: a photocopy of their current, most recent teaching contract, or current CUPE membership. One of these three documents can either be dropped off at The Early Learning Centre at York University Office or sent via email to daycare@yorku.ca.

The amount of subsidy available for each family is determined by the number of CUPE members registered with YUCDC. CUPE subsidy amounts are subject to fluctuation, but typically range from 20% to 50% of monthly childcare costs. The CUPE subsidy will remain in effect only if the CUPE subsidy funds are available.
