We participate in the BC Government’s Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI) and the amount has already been deducted from the fees for all children as shown. The fees above are the final amount paid by the parent/guardian.
Affordable Child Care Benefit is not included in the fees shown here, as the amount varies depending on your family’s specific annual income and the age of your child. Please apply for it as soon as you decide to enroll your child.

FAQ
Can I make a viewing?
Since COVID-19, online viewing is available only to families whose turn it is to receive an available spot.
What is included in the monthly fee?
The monthly fee includes childcare for each confirmed day, craft materials, and other materials needed for the program. It also includes field trips for which admission fees are not required.
My child is not yet potty trained, is that ok?
Yes, we support toilet training at our childcare. The best way to start training is for your child to become interested in using the toilet, so we will work with you to achieve potty training.
If my child is to attend childcare part-time, can I choose the day and time of day he/she goes to childcare and the time he/she goes home?
We will do our best to be as flexible as possible, but only during business hours and on the condition that spots are available.
For part-time positions, the day of the week must be confirmed, but parents can decide when to drop off and pick up their children within our hours of operation.
(e.g., 8:30 AM to 5:45 PM, 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, etc.)
There is no change in the fee even if you shorten the time you attend the childcare. If you wish to change the day of the week or increase the number of days your child attends childcare, please contact us as soon as possible. In such cases, we will make every possible adjustment, but if you wish to reduce the number of days you attend childcare, written notice must be given at least two months in advance.
How is the order of the waitlist determined?
The waitlist is determined in the order of the date we receive each inquiry.
