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).
Going forward, only school-age children (registered to the out-of-school program) will be admissible for a family subsidy. Please visit the out-of-school programs page for more information.

Alberta is committed to making childcare services more affordable by reducing fees for parents.
As such, the Province finances more than 70% of childcare fees through the federal-provincial childcare agreement.
