Manitoba Child Care Subsidy

You may qualify if your child is enrolled in a provincially licensed child care centre, nursery school, or child care home in Manitoba, and your family's income and reason for care meet the eligibility calculations set out in the Child Care Regulation.

Proof of enrollment in a provincially licensed child care centre, nursery school, or child care home, your family income information, and details about why you need child care (work, study, training).

Register or log in to the Manitoba Child Care Subsidy system online and submit an application with your income, family, and child care details. You must use a provincially licensed facility.

A common mistake is using an unlicensed facility, which is not eligible for the subsidy. Another is not reporting income changes, which affects the subsidy amount. People also miss that the reason for care (work, study, training) and family income together determine eligibility.
