The Province, through ChildCareBC<\/a>, is committed to building a future where access to affordable, quality, culturally safe, and inclusive child care is a core service that families can rely on.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Families, child care providers and early learning professionals are supported through various ChildCareBC<\/a> programs to reduce child care fees for families, help child care providers with operating costs, lift up the sector through wage enhancements, and create new child care centres.

The Province is working to balance public funding with public accountability to ensure ChildCareBC<\/a>  programs are financially responsible, accountable and function as intended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All ChildCareBC<\/a> programs and funding recipients may be assessed by the Verification and Audit Unit (VAU). The VAU looks for administrative errors, overpayments, and reviews for compliance with program policies, rules and requirements. ChildCareBC<\/a> programs and funding recipients may be subject to periodic VAU assessments and spot checks for accuracy. An assessment request does not indicate wrongdoing has occurred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Child care providers can review the program\u2019s funding guidelines and their individual funding agreements to ensure that they are following program policies, rules and requirements, and reporting any discrepancies to the ministry. This includes proper record keeping for their funding program<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assessments ensure that funding recipients are entitled to the funds they receive and are using funds as intended. Questions about the assessment process can be directed to the Verification Audit Unit team<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
