CWELCC Cost-Based Funding Guideline

Disclaimer

This CWELCC Cost-Based Child Care Funding Estimator (this “tool”) is being provided for general illustrative and informational purposes only.

This tool is only able to provide an estimate of the cost-based funding that a CWELCC-enrolled licensee may receive in 2025. Every licensee’s situation is different and only a Consolidated Municipal Service Manager (CMSM) or District Social Services Administration Board (DSSAB) can determine the amount of funding that a licensee may receive.

This tool is not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations in any circumstances. It may not cover aspects of your particular situation and an assessment by a CMSM/DSSAB could produce a result that differs from the estimate provided by this tool. Therefore, for decision-making purposes, a licensee should not rely on the information provided by this tool and should consult with the relevant CMSM/DSSAB.

This tool does not generate an enrolment application nor does it impact a licensee’s enrolment status.

The ministry assumes no responsibility for any errors or omissions within the tool. The ministry makes no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever with respect to this tool. Under no circumstances shall the ministry be held liable for any loss or damage (including any type of damage), which may be attributable to the reliance on and use of the tool.

The ministry does not retain any of the data entered into the tool. Data is transmitted to the tool for calculation and the results are transmitted back to the user’s computer. Please be aware that some data may remain on the user's computer at the end of the session. For more information on the Government of Ontario’s information management practices on our website please follow the privacy link at the bottom of this page.
