Government Funding Program

Affordable Child Care Benefit (ACCB)

At Kidstown Childcare, we proudly support the Affordable Child Care Benefit (ACCB) — a government-funded program that helps BC families manage the cost of quality licensed child care. The ACCB is available to eligible families with children aged 0 to 12 and can be applied directly to your monthly childcare fees.

This childcare subsidy BC is based on household income and family size, with greater support available for lower-income families. Whether you're looking for a daycare subsidy in BC or a preschool subsidy in BC, the ACCB is designed to reduce your out-of-pocket costs significantly.

Good to know: The ACCB is income-tested — the lower your household income, the more funding you may receive. You apply through the BC Government and the benefit is paid directly to your licensed childcare provider.

If you're searching for a daycare in Mission that accepts ACCB BC, look no further than Kidstown Childcare — a place where care, learning, and community come together.

Fee Reduction Program

Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI)

At Kidstown Childcare, we proudly participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI) — a key BC government program that directly reduces monthly child care fees for families. Through CCFRI funding, licensed providers like us receive provincial support to offset operating costs, passing the savings on to you.

CCFRI is one of BC's most impactful childcare programs. Since its launch, it has saved BC families more than $3 billion in child care fees. Currently, 97% of eligible licensed child care centres in BC participate — including Kidstown Childcare.

How it works: You do not need to apply separately for CCFRI. The fee reduction is applied automatically when your child is enrolled at a participating centre. Kidstown Childcare is a registered CCFRI provider — your savings start on day one.

2025–26 Update: Fee increase limits remain capped at 3% of the regional median fee, protecting families from sudden cost spikes. From April 1, 2026, all CCFRI providers must offer at least 9.5 hours of care per day before charging extended-hours fees — ensuring families get a full standard day of care included.

Combined with the ACCB, CCFRI can dramatically reduce — and in some cases nearly eliminate — your monthly childcare costs.
