Affordable Child Care Benefit (Subsidy)

The Affordable Child Care Benefits (ACCB) is a monthly payment program offered by the BC Provincial Government which helps eligible families with the cost of childcare and preschool. Factors like income, family size, and type of care determine how much financial support families can receive. Households earning up to $111K may be eligible. Visit their website at gov.bc.ca/affordablechildcarebenefit for more information.

ACCB APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please make note of the following:

• Child Care Arrangement forms (CCAF) are completed online through the My Family Services account. When asked to upload a Child Care Arrangement Form, select “This document is optional. I am not attaching this document.”
• All families are able to complete the CCAF online but if you would like to request for a PDF form, please email the Administration office at [email protected]. Forms will be emailed within two weeks.
• ACCB approvals may not be for the full duration of the program and therefore, a mid-year renewal may be required to be completed online through your My Family Services account.

ACCB is a program administered by the BC Government. The application is between the family and ACCB. Wind & Tide does not have any information on a family’s approval status. If you have any questions about your application and eligibility, contact the Affordable Child Care Benefits office at 1-888-388-6622 (Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm). If you need assistance with the online application, reach out to ACCB and request to speak with the Portal Support Team.
