Subsidy towards parental contributions for private daycare centres

If you are unable to pay the costs for a private daycare centre or lunchtime supervision in the current daycare year, you can apply for a subsidy.

Competent authority

Description

If your child attends a day care centre run by a private or independent provider, you can receive a subsidy towards the parental contributions if required. You must apply for this at the Economic Youth Welfare Office in your local social centre. The responsible social welfare centre will decide whether you meet the requirements for the contributions to be paid.
