What to ask when you call

Not all licensed daycares accept the subsidy — always confirm before applying
Call or email the provider to ask: "Are you currently accepting new families on the subsidy?"
Ask if there's a wait for subsidy spots — some providers have subsidy waitlists even if they accept the program
Once approved, your authorization is tied to a specific provider — changing providers requires notifying your caseworker
Licensed home childcare agencies in Ontario can include some family members as licensed providers if they meet licensing requirements and live separately from the child.
