In a media release on March 28, the provincial government announced savings of up to $350 per month for parents with children in licensed care.
The child-care fee reductions are available to families who have children up to kindergarten age in a child-care facility where providers opt in.
The reduction will save parents up to $350 per month for each child in group infant and toddler care; $200 per month for each child in family infant and toddler care; $100 per month for each child in group care for children from age three to kindergarten; and $60 per month for each child in family care for children from age three to kindergarten.
Providers throughout the province have applied for fee reductions for more than 18,000 children thus far.
