Fees

General fees

  • Using the service : $250 per week OR $200 per week where there is a statutory holiday OR $50 per day on demand.
  • Registration: A child already registered to a CEPP, having been registered to the 2023 summer camp or coming from a center managed by the FPFA will not have to pay a registration fee. An external child must pay the $50 fee for opening a file (non-reimbursable).
  • Withdrawal: The withdrawal of fees will occur on the first business day of each month, calculating the weekly fee multiplied by the number of weeks selected each month by the family.
  • Deductions for absences : The fees are not deductible if a child misses days in the weeks selected.

Financial aid

This program holds a license from the Ministry of Children’s Services, therefore parents may request financial aid from the government. The Affordability Grant is accessible for children who are 5 years old.

How It Works: For each month, a child registered for 3 weeks or more will receive the full-time Affordability Grant. However, a child registered for less than 3 weeks will receive the part-time Affordability Grant.
