CANADA-WIDE EARLY LEARNING & CHILD CARE PROGRAM

The Government of Canada has identified child care as a national priority to enhance early learning and childhood development, support workforce participation, and contribute to economic recovery. 

On March 28, 2022, the Governments of Canada and Ontario signed the Canada-Wide Early Learning & Child Care (CWELCC) agreement. As part of this agreement Ontario will receive $13.2 billion over six years beginning in 2021-2022. This funding will be used to build and leverage the success of 

Ontario’s existing early learning and child care system by increasing quality, accessibility, affordability and inclusivity. 

In 2022 child care fees for eligible children were reduced by up to 25% at CWELCC enrolled licensed child care programs. As of December 31, 2022 the fees will be further reduced by an addition 37%. This will bring the fees down by a total of 52.75% relative to the base fees charged in March of 2022. Additional fee reductions are expected in September 2024 and September 2025, to eventually bring average child care fees down to $10 per day, per child.   

Bouncing Ball Nursery School is part of CWELLC funding program resulting in a lower cost for our parents and families.  Please refer to the registration package for fee breakdown and details.

FUNDRAISING

A portion of Bouncing Ball Nursery School’s basic operating costs are covered by school fundraising efforts, and families are expected to participate in these activities. Additionally, donations of school supplies, craft supplies, toys and so forth are always appreciated, and requests may be put forth during the year if stocks become low. Donations of time and materials are very important in order to keep our costs as low as possible.  For a list of on-going needs of our school please click here.
