Child Care Subsidy Program

The MN-S Care Subsidy Program offers vital support for Métis families to access affordable childcare. Eligible families with children aged 0 to 12 years may see their childcare fees reduced to as low as $10 per day.

Eligibility Criteria:

The child must be 0 to 12 years old. The child will become ineligible the month following their 13th birthday.
The child must be an MN–S citizen or in the process of acquiring citizenship and must not have applied for First Nation status. Please visit https://metisnationsk.com/citizenship/ for citizenship information.
The applicant (parent/guardian) and child must reside within Saskatchewan.
The applicant (parent/guardian) and child must reside within the same household.

Please Note: Recipients of the subsidy may be subject to applicable taxes on the amounts received. This may affect Income Supplement programs. T4A’s will be issued to the parent/guardian listed on the application.

You can read more about eligibility in the ELCC Subsidy Handbook.
