What is the Government Affordability Grant?

Alberta is committed to making child care more affordable by reducing parent fees. That is why, under the federal-provincial child care agreement,(https://www.alberta.ca/federal-provincial-child-care-agreement) Alberta will be providing Affordability Grants to licensed child care programs that commit to working with the government to ensure fees for all families reach $10 per day by March 2026.
Through the Affordability Grant Agreement, Alberta has actioned the Canada-Alberta Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement to support families with children up to kindergarten age attending child care during regular school hours by:
 • Reducing parent fees by an average of 50 % for all families between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2024 
 • Lowering parent fees to an average of $15 per day between January 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025  
 • As of April 1, 2025, establishing a flat monthly parent fee of $326.25 per month for full-time care, equivalent to $15 per day, and $230.00 per month for part-time care* 
 • Further lowering parent fees to $10 per day by March 2026.

Question 4

Can I Book a Tour?

Accepted Answer

YES! Yes you can. We have created our daycare tour checklist for parents to use when visiting any centres to help make it easy when assessing each one. Simply download the checklist and keep it available with you as you take a centre tour. Our daycare tour checklist is designed to remind you of the critical components to look out for when visiting a childcare provider and ensure you focus on each one during your tour to be confident of the quality of service that's offered.

Is there a lunch program?

Accepted Answer

YESSSS! We are currently offering hot lunch Monday through Friday!

We have a monthly menu that we send out at the beginning of each month. If your child does not like what is on the menu or has allergies/intolerances, you are more than welcome to send them with a packed lunch for that day.
