3 - 6 year olds are eligible for 20 hours ECE funding per week up to 6 hours per day. We further subsidize an additional 10 hours, up to 30 hours free per week if all of the child’s 20 hours ECE have been attested to us. We also subsidize 2-year-olds with the same benefits, however spaces for 2-year-olds are limited.

​

3 - 6 year olds that use some or all of their 20 ECE hours elsewhere pay a fee of $6 per hour.

​

An example of what you might be charged if you attest all 20 ECE funding to our kindergarten:

• Your child is enrolled for 5 days per week, 6 hours per day. Your weekly fee is free

• Your child is enrolled for 5 days per week, 7.5 hours per day. Your weekly fee is $45

Donations

As a small non-profit kindergarten, we need to fundraise throughout the year. Any donations we receive are much appreciated and go towards improving our kindergarten. From time to time we may invite families to donate to kindergarten if they can, however this is not compulsory.
