Beginning April 1, 2025, Alberta’s government is introducing an Affordability Funding Program for childcare where full and part time childcare costs are a flat parent fee province wide, for children zero to kindergarten age. These fees are equivalent to $15/day and Alberta’s government will continue to pay an average of 80% of your childcare costs each month. Children who attend care less than 50 hours per month are not eligible for the new program and my drop-in rates are noted below. Children who are in grade 1+ are not eligible for the new program either however subsidy is still available to those who qualify.
Drop-in Care: 0-49 hours of care each month. (This does not fall under the new Affordability Funding program)
$10.90/hour, with a maximum of $70.85/day

Hourly care will be rounded up to the next 15-minute interval (e.g., 3 hours & 50 minutes will be considered 4 hours, or 2 hours & 10 minutes will be considered 2 hours 15 minutes).
