At Hava, we are proud to participate in two key government-funded programs aimed at making childcare more affordable for families in British Columbia: the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI) and the Affordable Child Care Benefit (ACCB).
The CCFRI is applied directly through our centre, providing automatic monthly fee reductions for eligible families. In addition, families may also qualify for the ACCB, a separate financial assistance program based on income and family circumstances. Families must apply for the ACCB directly through the provincial government.
By participating in these programs, Hava is committed to supporting families in accessing high-quality, affordable childcare.
