Our Philosophy & Daycare Fees
Early childhood education can set the foundation as a child grows. In fact, learning through play is one of the most effective ways for young children to learn. Using play as a way to teach makes it fun and engaging for the child.
Even from a young age, simple games like peek-a-boo, sorting, and knocking over blocks or even fitting shapes into a cut-out help develop motor skills and problem-solving abilities. Roughly 80% of brain development is completed by age three, and by age five, that number reaches 90%. This is why it’s important to begin setting the foundation before your child even starts Kindergarten.
CLASS TIME:
6:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
FEES FOR DAYCARE:
1 day/week: $240/month
2 days/week: $480/month
3 days/week: $720/month
4 days/week: $960/month- 5 days/week: $1200/month
SUBSIDY
As you may have heard, Alberta has reached a deal with the federal government to reduce the cost of child care through an affordability grant. All families that attend a licensed facility will receive this monthly grant regardless of family income. The amount that a family receives per month is based on the age of children attending daycare and the number of days per week children attend:
$510/month
$450/month
$255/month
$225/month
In addition to the affordability grant, families may qualify for an additional $106 to $266 in subsidy based on their family income. Please click this link if you would like to apply for this additional subsidy.
With the above two subsidies, 1 – 3 day a week child care may be completely free while 4 – 5 day a week child care will be much more affordable.
