2. Wait for notification of your Intake Interview
Once your application has been received, you will be contacted by the Manitoulin-Sudbury DSB, and an appointment will be made for an Intake Interview. Please bring all required documentation to the interview, see #4 below.
3. Find a child care program
Subsidy is available in a variety of licensed child care settings. You, the parent, choose the type of care you want for your child, either in a licensed day care centre or with a home child care provider through a licensed home child care agency.
To assist you in making an informed choice, please review the list of child care programs currently offered in the Manitoulin-Sudbury DSB region. We encourage you to visit the child care centres and home child care agencies in your area to help you with your choice.
Please begin your intake with the child care program at the same time as your application for subsidy. Make sure your children are registered on that program's wait list. This is important as some centres do have a wait list.
