Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC)
As an After-School program for children ages 6-12, we do not qualify for the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) $10-A-Day agreement.
As such, regular monthly fees apply, which are set annually in January by the Board of Directors.
Fee Subsidies
Subsidized spaces are available through the City of Toronto to help support the cost of licensed childcare programs like ours. There is a waitlist, so apply as soon as possible! More information can be found here.

This fee covers the administrative costs for processing enrollment, preparing materials, setting up the program, and covering staff hours outside of their regular duties to complete these tasks. It is non-refundable, as it goes toward these upfront costs. The fee is set by the program and cannot be waived, refunded, or altered under any circumstances.
