SLAAMB

The purpose of childcare is to assist trainees with the cost of providing supervised care for dependents while on a training course or starting a job. This allowance may be paid when:

1. course or job placement is sponsored by SLAAMB
2. there is a demonstrated need - example
   • up to a maximum of three (3) months for starting a new job
   • ½ time while on a course or similar program - negotiable
3. dependent(s) up to the age of 12 or in need of special care
4. maximum child care is $3/hr to a maximum of $20/day per child - maximum 5 days/week
5. maximum of 4 dependents starting with the youngest one
6. any family having a combined income of $725/week or more will not be eligible

Note: This will allow each First Nation/Native community to set up a private or community supervised childcare facility.
