Day Care Fees

At The Children's Garden Inc. we accept children from 18 months to 12 years.

In your child's first month of attendance, regardless of age, you will be charged a one-time $25.00 registration fee as well as a refundable $20.00 deposit for a swipe key. This enables entrance to the building. This deposit will be refunded upon return of the key.

Childcare subsidy accepted!

Payment is always due on the 1st of the month. You will be provided a series of forms to fill out once you have agreed to bring your child here, one of which is a Preauthorized Funds Transfer form. Filling out this form and providing a void cheque authorizes The Children's Garden to withdrawal the fees from your account on the 1st of every month. If the 1st is a holiday or a weekend, the funds will be withdrawn on the first business day thereafter. You will be sent an email notification two weeks prior to the date of withdrawal which will outline the amount to be withdrawn.

For Toddlers and Preschoolers, we accept children on a full-time basis (5 days a week) and a part-time basis (2-4 days a week).

The fees are as follows:

For a full-time childcare space (toddler/preschool), there is a flat monthly rate of $894.00.

For a part-time childcare space (toddler/preschool), there is a flat daily rate of $46.50.
