Children’s Creative Learning Centre’s program fees are calculated on an annual basis. There will be no reduction in fees for Absences or Family Vacations, nor Emergency Closures.

All fees are payable on the first day of each month, unless other arrangements have been made in advance with the director. The payments are to be paid by E-Transfer, cheques or cash. 

A $25-service fee is charged on NSF cheques. We provide receipts when payment is received; we provide only monthly child-care tax receipts (not a year-end tax receipt) for income tax purposes. If a replacement of tax receipt is required, a $25-administration fee will be charged.

One month’s written notice on the first working day of the month is required upon termination of a child in our program.

Childcare Affordability Funding 

All Families with children zero to kindergarten ages registered at Licensed Daycare are eligible for Child Care Affordability Funding. Upon enrolling the child at our programme the parents are asked to provide the following information: 

  • Child’s first and last name; child’s date of birth
  • parent/guardian’s first and last name; parent/guardian’s phone number and email

The Parents are also asked to provide the peace of the government ID and child birth certificate. As required by Alberta Early Learning and Child Care Act and Regulation, the Children’s Creative Learning Centre will securely share the information with the government when required. Parent/Guardian Consent for Sharing Personal Information is obtained before submitting any detail to the Government in line with privacy laws. 

 

Registration Fee

CCLC charges a $150-registration fee. The registration fee is not a deposit fee charge, it is non-refundable should a family decide not to use our child care facilities.

Late Pick Up Fee

Timely pick-up is essential to ensure the well-being of every child and to support our educators’ schedules. Families will be charged a late fee for any child picked up after 5:45 p.m. This fee is paid directly to the early childhood professional who remains with the child beyond regular operating hours. A fee of $1 per minute will apply from 5:45 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.. After 6:00 p.m., the fee increases to $5 per minute.

In the event that a child has not been picked up by 6:30 p.m., and no communication has been received from the parent or guardian, the centre will notify Calgary Region Child and Family Services as per licensing and safety protocols.

Issuance of Receipts

Receipts are issued on a monthly basis and are only provided when payment has been received. Families that are no longer attending the centre will need to ensure they provide up to date information to CCLC in order to ensure their receipts can be sent to them. Anyone with an outstanding balance, will not be given a receipt. If a replacement receipt is required, a $25 administration fee will be charged.
