Welcome to the London and Middlesex Child Care Waitlist

Finding Quality Programs

These standards provide for the health, safety and developmental needs of children.

It is strongly recommended that you contact each program you are interested in to inquire about their waitlist policy and procedure.

How many places can I apply?

You may apply for as many child care programs as you like. This waitlist application also gives you the opportunity to apply online for Child Care Fee Subsidy. You can also apply for Child Care Fee subsidy separately here.

Which services can help pay my child care costs?

Child Care Costs

Child care fees vary from program to program and are based on the age of the child and sometimes, on the number of hours they attend.
Contact the child care centre, the home child care agency or school board (or visit their website) for specific details on fees. In addition to the monthly fees, some programs may charge other fees, so it is important to ask about this ahead of time.

Helping Pay for Child Care

The City of London & County of Middlesex, Child Care Subsidy program helps parents pay for licensed child care so they can go to work or school.

Child Care Subsidy may cover all or part of a family’s child care costs.

To learn more about Child Care Subsidy, visit the Child Care Fee Subsidy Websites:

You can apply for Child Care Subsidy up to 6 months before starting care.
