Through the Affordability Grant agreement, Alberta has actioned the Canada-Alberta Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement to support families with children up to kindergarten age attending child care during regular school hours by:
● reducing parent fees by an average of 50% for all families between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2024
● lowering parent fees to an average of $15 per day between January 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025

● further lowering parent fees to $10 per day by March 2026
