With this fee reduction, Alberta families could now save up to $13,700 annually per child in regulated child care with the Affordability Grant and subsidy, as compared to before the signing of the Canada-Alberta Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care agreement in November 2021.
Today's announcement means that the governments of Canada and Alberta are making child care more affordable for families in the province, working toward their goal of reaching an average fee of $10-a-day for licensed child care by 2026.
