Did you and your partner need to work a required number of hours to apply? I wanted to register my two year old into daycare but need subsidy. I was told that we both need to be working/going to school for 25 hours a week each or "doing something", or if we want part time daycare then 17.5 hours a week. I find this difficult for us. I am going to go back to college full time and im working on the weekends (so I have over 25 hours). My boyfriend is currently in college part time and works part time (which equals to probably 12), however his program is challenging so hes away studying at school during the day. Would this count towards hours? I'm so confused. Thank you!
