FAQ

How much money will I get through the Nova Scotia Child Care Subsidy?

The child care costs that will be covered by the Nova Scotia Child Care Subsidy depend on your family’s social need, how much money you have, and your income. What you get is probably going to be different from what another person might get. A good general rule is; the lower your income, the more subsidy you may be eligible for. As a result, it’s difficult for us to say even what you might receive. To get the specifics, the best thing to do is talk to a Child Care Subsidy Caseworker. He or she will be able to walk you through the application process, as well as answer any questions or concerns that you may have. You can find your local Community Services office here. If you are unsure of which office to contact, you can call Nova Scotia Community Services at 1-877-424-1177 for help. ^ix
