Child Care Affordability & Government Support
At Pars Centre Child Care, we understand that high-quality child care is an important investment for families — and we’re here to help make it more affordable. Below are two key financial support programs available to families in British Columbia:

✅ 1. Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI)
Pars Centre is a participating provider in the CCFRI, a provincial program that helps lower the monthly child care fees automatically.

You don’t need to apply. If your child is enrolled in our eligible programs, the fee reduction is applied directly to your monthly invoice.

The amount varies depending on the type of care and number of days attended.

✅ 2. Affordable Child Care Benefit (ACCB)
This is a monthly subsidy for families with children in licensed child care programs.

Families must apply directly through the BC Government website.

Eligibility is based on income, family size, and care needs.

The benefit can be paid directly to the centre (reducing your monthly payment) or to your family.

Some families receive hundreds of dollars per month in support.
