Childcare Pricing & Pricing
Understand your monthly parent fees and what your family can expect from our programs.
Starting April 1, 2025, Alberta moved to a simplified childcare funding model for children up to kindergarten age in licensed daycare programs during regular school hours.
We provide a predictable monthly parent fee structure, making costs clearer and easier to plan for.
