Grants and Subsidies
The Affordability Grant
Allocated based on the child’s age and automatically deducted from the monthly fees (Reduction column) in the table of fees.
The amount of the Affordability Grant is decided by the government. This is offered based on the number of days registered and the payable fees. A child registered part-time therefore benefits from the part-time Affordability Grant while a child registered full-time benefits from the full-time Affordability Grant.
This is not based on the number of hours the child is in the program but based on the number of days per week, and therefore the payable fees. Please refer to the fees table below to know what is considered full- and part-time.
Additional Family Subsidy
Starting in February 2025, the Government of Alberta will abolish the Additional Family Subsidy for children registered in daycare (0 to 5 years old).
Families that were already approved between February and March 2025 will retain their subsidy until March 31st. However, those for whom the subsidy expires during these months and who have not applied for renewal, as well as new applicants, will not be able to renew or submit a new application starting February 1st 2025.
Going forward, only school-age children will be admissible for a family subsidy.
To receive the additional family subsidy, the family must apply online once their registration is confirmed. See below for more information. The subsidy is based on the family’s annual revenue, the parents’ situation and the number of hours completed in the center.
The amount offered for this is not fixed as it is based on the child’s attendance which is declared to the government each month, pulled from the hours entered in the center’s attendance tracking system.
ATTENTION, in your application, you must enter the official program name of your child’s program as well as its program number:
OFFICIAL PROGRAM NAME : Centre d’experience prescolaire L’Aventure
PROGRAM NUMBER : 80002048
***It is very important to enter the correct information for each child, otherwise your child will not be declared in the correct program and adjustments will have to be made, which may prolong the process.***
