Providing high-quality early learning and care remains our priority, and we are committed to maintaining a nurturing and enriching environment for your children.  \nEach year, as operational costs rise, adjustments to our fees are necessary to ensure the sustainability of our programs. Effective April 1, 2025—the start of the provincial government’s funding year—our government-approved updated fee schedule will take effect. The new rates are now posted on our website.  \nFor example, the following changes will apply to full-time spaces:  \n● Infant & Toddler (0–3 years) : Increase of $49 per month  \n● Preschool Age (3–5 years) : Increase of $31 per month  \n● School Age (6–12 years) : No increase  \nWe have once again successfully opted into the government Fee Reduction Initiative (FRI) . For a full listing of our fees, including potential discounts through this program, please visit our website.  \nWe understand that financial planning is important, and we encourage families to explore the Affordable Child Care Benefit (ACCB) , which may help offset costs. If you are not yet receiving ACCB or need assistance with applying, our team is happy to guide you through the process.  \nWe appreciate your partnership and your trust in us during these formative years of your child’s growth and development. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.  \nBest Regards,  \nJohn Wilson, ECE  \nDirector, Playtime Childcare Society & Jolly Giant Childcare","cbCairddVwtxSYqo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairddVwtxSYqo","pdf",426367,"English","# Fee Increase Notification\n## Program Fee Adjustments\n## Financial Support and Resources","[{\"question\":\"When does the new fee schedule take effect?\",\"answer\":\"The updated fee schedule becomes effective on April 1, 2025, which marks the start of the provincial government’s funding year.\"},{\"question\":\"How much will childcare fees increase for different age groups?\",\"answer\":\"Fees for infants and toddlers (0–3 years) will increase by $49 per month, while preschool-age children (3–5 years) will see an increase of $31 per month; school-age children (6–12 years) will experience no fee increase.\"},{\"question\":\"What resources are available to help families manage childcare costs?\",\"answer\":\"Families are encouraged to participate in the government Fee Reduction Initiative and explore the Affordable Child Care Benefit (ACCB), for which the childcare center staff can provide application assistance.\"}]","2025 Fee Increase Letter to Parents - Playtime Childcare Society | PDF",1789630396]
