From the organization's website: https://www.metisnation.org/programs-and-services/education-training/early-learning-and-child-care/child-care-stipend-program/

The Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) is pleased to offer the Child Care Stipend Program to support Métis families when formal child care (e.g. licensed or private child care), do not meet a family's needs. The Child Care Stipend Program evolved as a result of the temporary COVID-19 Child Care Support Program which was available to help parents when they did not have access to formal child care, or in-person school, due to closures of programs. The updated Child Care Stipend Program is designed to support families who are unable to access more formal child care arrangements and for on-going, regular child care, to support parents and caregivers who work, attend school, or have documented medical needs that require child care supports.

Children must be between the ages of 0-12 years The parent/guardian, or child, must be an MNO citizen Family must reside in the Province of Ontario The family does not have access to formal child care in the community, or the child care available does not meet the family's needs (e.g. due to shift work) The parent(s) or guardian(s) must be employed, attending school, or have ongoing medical needs (such as regular appointments). Note: if the parent or guardian is working from home, the job duties which the individual is performing must impact child supervision during working hours.

Métis children between the ages of 0 and 12
