We are pleased to confirm that all Alpha’s Discovery Kids locations are participating in the CWELCC program ($10/day National Child Care Program). We remain committed to maintaining high standards at Alpha’s Discovery Kids through our exceptional Four Pillars of Learning Curriculum. Through the CWELLC program, more families will be able to experience our award-winning child care program in a manner that is affordable, inclusive, and sustainable.

 

The Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) system will:

  • give families access to more affordable and high-quality child care options
  • help lower child care fees for parents of children under the age of six
  • increase child care spaces
  • support the child care workforce
  • support inclusive child care

What This Means for Parents and Families

On March 28th 2022, the Provincial and Federal governments announced an agreement to fund licensed childcare with a goal of reducing fees to an average of $10/day per child by 2025 under the Canada Wide Early Learning and Childcare program (CWELCC). The key objectives of this program are to lower childcare fees for eligible children, improve educator wages and increase access to quality childcare programs.

 

The CWELCC program provides federal funding for childcare operators to provide a 25% fee reduction retroactive to April 1, 2022, building to a 50% reduction in average parent costs by the end of calendar year 2022 and reaching an average fee of $10 a day by 2025-26 for licensed child care spaces.

We anticipate a large demand for child care due to the reduced child care fees. If you are interested in child care in 2023 or beyond, we suggest you secure a future spot as soon as possible. With the CWELCC discounts in place, we anticipate demand will be greater than the number of spaces we have available.

 

Who is eligible for CWELCC?
