What the fund means to working families

TWU CCF has been a great support for our family. Our kids have benefited immensely with the help and support that they provide to us. Having this financial support aids with choosing quality child care or after care services or programs for our children, which lessens the financial burden for those services.

CCF has been an incredible support for my family. I applied because I wanted to make sure my daughter, Kaylise, had access to safe and reliable afterschool childcare, and CCF truly came through for us.

The afterschool childcare fund made a real difference by easing the financial stress and allowing Kaylise to stay in a structured, supportive environment after school. Knowing she was cared for and engaged gave me peace of mind and allowed me to focus on work without constant worry.

What stood out most to me was how supportive and understanding the process was. CCF genuinely cares about its members and their families, and I’m truly grateful for the help they provided during a time when it was needed most.

We applied for the Childcare Fund (CCF) because childcare is incredibly expensive, and we were looking for reliable support to help manage those costs. The sign-up and renewal process was incredibly easy, which made it even more appealing. CCF has truly been a lifesaver; their services have allowed us to afford quality childcare, including a Spanish immersion program that we absolutely love for our daughter. Thanks to CCF, a significant burden has been lifted off our shoulders, allowing us to ensure she receives the best care possible. We’ve noticed a marked improvement in her well-being and development since receiving support from CCF, enabling us to afford the best care for her. The standout part of the experience has been the personalized attention and care from the customer service team—they were so helpful every step of the way. It’s comforting to know that we have such a supportive resource in our corner, allowing us to focus on our work and family without the stress of childcare costs. Thank you for everything you do!

I am truly grateful for the TWU Local 100 Child Care Fund (CCF). I applied as soon as I learned about the program, and it has been incredibly beneficial for both me and my son. The monthly reimbursement for his before- and after-school care has provided tremendous financial relief, allowing me to work with minimal stress.

CCF has made a meaningful difference in our lives, and I often share the word about this fabulous program with others. I am sincerely thankful for the support CCF provides.

Our family applied to the childcare fund with our first child because we were both young working parents so every little bit helped. As we continue to grow our family having multiple children, the childcare phone was beneficial in ways that we could have one of our children enrolled year-round to help with the cost of childcare expenses for our youngest and to provide assistance for summer camp for our older child.

Luckily, for us children, her fund has expanded over the years and has accepted not just large childcare centers, but also smaller providers which have allowed us to choose the location where we wanted to send our children and secure the subsidy.

The personalized help we received from the Childcare fund was great. They have watched our kids grow and even engage with them doing fun activities on Family Day.

As a member of TWULocal 100, the CCF department has been extremely helpful to me and my family. As we are in trouble times and everything financially increasing, child care being outrageously expensive the CCF has been an amazing relief to have. The staff is amazing from the young lady in the front desk, Ms Sophia and everyone else are great to speak to, knowledgeable and helpful with any concerns or needs. The funds being increased this year was a great relief and help towards child care as well. I always recommend the services to my colleagues. Thank you as always for being there for us and providing us the CCF program.
