The monthly fee, based on the age of the child, is due on the first of each month without being invoiced.
Fees for 2017-2018
The fee is due regardless of the number of days in the month, absenteeism due to illness, bad weather, vacations, statutory holidays, job action, or college closures. The parent portion is determined once any subsidy authorization papers have arrived in the CCS office.
Payment can be made by post-dated cheque, Visa, MasterCard or pre-authorized debit. Cash is not accepted.

Subsidy
Families may apply to the Ministry of Children and Family Development to see if they are eligible for Subsidy. It is the enrolling parent's responsibility to apply for subsidy and to keep all required documents current with the subsidy office. Full payment of the child care fee is required until we are notified of subsidy approval, and the enrolling parent must pay any outstanding balance not covered by subsidy to Child Care Services.
Note The subsidy rates reflect maximum BC Child Care Subsidy. Subsidy entitlement is not guaranteed at this rate as it is based on net income and family demographics.
