Regular Full-Time Tuition $1,195 per month

This is our regular full-time monthly tuition before applicable provincial fee reductions or family benefits are applied.

Understanding your cost

Your actual monthly cost may be lower.

Central Kids Daycare's regular full-time tuition is $1,195 per month before government child care funding and benefits.

Depending on provincial program approval and your family's eligibility, the amount you personally pay each month may be considerably lower.

Please note: Government funding amounts, eligibility, program requirements and approvals are determined by the Province of British Columbia.
Illustrative Parent Tuition $650 per month
After Full CCFRI Approval

What your parent portion could look like.

For planning purposes, we are illustrating a parent tuition amount of $650 per month after full CCFRI approval.

This amount is before any additional Affordable Child Care Benefit that your family may qualify for.

Important: $650 is an illustrative amount based on full CCFRI approval. It is not a guarantee of the final parent fee until Central Kids receives provincial approval and the applicable reduction is confirmed.
Getting Started

What do I need to pay at registration?

When your child's space is confirmed, the initial payment includes the first month's parent tuition, a last-month deposit, the applicable registration fee and the annual supply/activity fee.

The example shown here is for one child using the illustrative $650 monthly parent fee after full CCFRI approval.

Initial Payment for One Child
First month's parent tuition $650

Child Care Savings

Government programs may reduce your cost.

There are two important provincial programs families should know about.

↓

Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative

CCFRI provides funding to participating licensed child care providers so eligible parent fees can be reduced.

Families do not apply directly for this reduction themselves.

$

Affordable Child Care Benefit

ACCB is a separate benefit families can apply for directly through the Province of British Columbia.

Eligible families may receive additional assistance toward the amount they pay.

Provider Fee Reduction

Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative

Central Kids is applying to participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, commonly called CCFRI.

This provincial program provides funding directly to participating licensed providers so eligible parent fees can be reduced.

Parents do not submit their own application for CCFRI.

What families should know

✓
No Parent Application Parents do not apply separately for the CCFRI reduction.
✓
Not Income Tested CCFRI reductions are not based on household income.
✓
Applied to Parent Fees Once approved, applicable funding is reflected in the amount families pay.
✓
Provincial Approval Required Final fee reductions cannot be guaranteed until Central Kids receives provincial approval.
$

You may qualify for additional help.

Eligible families can apply directly to the Province of British Columbia for the Affordable Child Care Benefit.

Additional Family Support

Affordable Child Care Benefit

The Affordable Child Care Benefit, or ACCB, helps eligible B.C. families with the cost of child care.

The amount a family may receive depends on provincial eligibility rules and the family's circumstances.

ACCB is separate from CCFRI. A family may potentially benefit from both programs. CCFRI is handled through the provider, while families apply directly for ACCB.
