One-Time Licensed Child Care Fee Relief

Sarnia, ON – The County of Lambton Homelessness Prevention & Children’s Services Department will be covering the fees for Lambton County families utilizing licensed child care within the County of Lambton for the month of December 2021.

Supporting the licensed child care sector and assisting families is vitally important for economic recovery, particularly at this time as many families continue to face increased pressures and financial burdens resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing one-time coverage of licensed child care fees in December will help alleviate some financial pressure for families and aid in overall economic recovery in the County of Lambton. 

This expense will be covered by the annualized funding received from the Ministry of Education as a one-time grant to licensed child care operators.

There is no action required from Lambton County families accessing licensed child care within the County of Lambton. Child care providers will directly bill the Homelessness Prevention & Children’s Services Department for December fees and eligible families will not be billed for the month of December 2021.
