Are there programs to help reduce childcare costs in Armstrong?

Yes. The Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI) automatically reduces fees at participating licensed providers, and about 94% of BC's licensed facilities opt in. Families may also qualify for the Affordable Child Care Benefit if their household income is under roughly $111,000 per year, and some facilities participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month.
