Will I be able to receive the Child Care Subsidy to help with the costs of my child's summer camps? The camps are serving as child care over the summer.
It depends. The Child Care Subsidy is to assist with licensed child care costs; it is not intended to pay for participation in education or enrichment programs.
- Summer camps licensed or administered by a licensed child care facility or provider meet the requirements.
- Participation in competitive sports programs (such as soccer or baseball teams), skill-enrichment camps (e.g., band camp), or other unlicensed summer experiences do not meet the requirements.
