Preschool Fees

A fee agreement for each child must be completed in the office at the beginning of the year.

One month’s written notice is required when you withdraw your child from Preschool program.

We accept cash, cheques (payable to Spare Time) and bank e-transfers.

Administration fee is a $25 annual fee (September to August).

The Preschool fee schedule is from September 8, 2025 to June 25, 2026. Preschool program fees are consistent every month even though there are a varying amount of attendance days.

A fee reduction has been applied to the monthly fees listed below from the Ministry for Children & Family Development Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI).

• 2 days/week is $247 per month.

• 3 days/week is $368 per month.

• 5 days/week is $580 per month.

An affordable Child Care Benefit (ACCB) is available for those who qualify from the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

Fee for children enrolled in October 2025 or later in the school year will be pro-rated to an equal average for the remaining attendance days to June 25th, 2026.
