Child Care Costs
Child care fees vary from program to program and are based on the age of the child and sometimes, on the number of hours they attend.
Contact the child care centre, the home child care agency or school board (or visit their website) for specific details on fees. In addition to
the monthly fees, some programs may charge other fees, so it is important to ask about this ahead of time.
