Frequently Asked Questions
Why is daycare so expensive?
The cost of your fees directly reflects the cost to provide care. Not only are we paying educated staff, but also all of the additional hours they put into programming and creating the environment your child interacts in each day. If you pay $40/day for 8 hours of childcare- you are only paying a university educated teacher $5/ hour!
What type of payments do you accept? Do you offer payment plans?
We accept PayPal (Button on Fees & Contact Pages), Credit Card, E-transfer, Cheques & Cash. We do offer 2 bi-monthly payments instead of having to pay one larger payment.
We try to do our best in accommodating all families, in any way we can, so please let us know if you have any concerns about paying the fees.
We also accept government subsidy.
