CWELCC Child Care in Barrie

Affordable child care, rooted in faith

Hide & Seek Christian Academy is enrolled in the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) system. Our daily base fee is $22 per eligible child, helping families access caring, faith-based early learning in Barrie.

What is CWELCC?

CWELCC is a government-funded system that reduces parent fees at participating licensed child care programs. Ontario caps base fees for eligible children at $22 per day or less. Each centre’s applicable fee may differ; our daily base fee is $22.

Who is eligible?

CWELCC generally supports children under six in participating licensed programs. Special age rules can extend eligibility around a child’s sixth birthday. Contact our team to confirm eligibility for your child and their intended start date.

How do families receive the reduced fee?

The reduction is applied to eligible child care fees through the centre. Families do not apply separately to the federal government for this reduction. Additional income-based child care fee assistance is a separate program administered locally; ask the County of Simcoe about eligibility.
