Rates

Strawberry Patch Childcare Centre Inc. Rates for 2023/2024 Season (Effective September 1, 2023)

We have opted into the Governments Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI). The rates below DO NOT reflect the reduction. The discount is noted beside the rate. This reduction will apply as long as we continue to “Opt In” to their program and they are providing. New for September, 2023 the Before and After programs will also be receiving a reduction in fees due to the Fee Reduction Initiative. Any fees $ 200 or less will not see a reduction as it is not included in the governments program.

Families are encouraged to apply for the Affordable Childcare Benefit provided by the Government. This will help reduce your cost to us. We will provide the “Childcare arrangement form” needed to accompany your application. Please be sure to ask us for this form when applying.
