PEI Child Care Subsidy Program

Proof of PEI residency, family income information, proof of enrollment in a licensed child care center, and details about your reason for child care (work, school, or at home).

Apply through the PEI government Child Care Subsidy page or use the online subsidy calculator to estimate your contribution before applying. Your child must attend a licensed child care center.

A common mistake is using an unlicensed provider, which is not eligible. Another is not using the subsidy calculator first, which can help you understand your parent contribution. People also miss that eligibility depends on your reason for care (work, school, or at home) as well as income.
