On March 28, 2022, the Ontario and Federal governments announced the signing of a Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) agreement. Fee reduction funding is intended to support children under the age of 6, with some exceptions for children with birthdays early in the calendar year who are 6 years of age and enrolled in kindergarten. More specifically, eligible children are defined as;
- Any child, until the last day of the month in which the child turns 6 years old and;
- Up until June 30 in a calendar year, any child who;
- turns six years old between January 1 and June 30 in that calendar year; and
- is enrolled in a licensed child care program.
The CWELCC agreement outlines that Ontario families participating licensed child care programs such as the Waterloo Region District School Boards Extended Day Program will see the following impact on their childcare fees over the next 2 years:
- January 2023 – December 2023 fees will be further reduced (to a minimum of $12/day);·
- Before Care Rate $12
- After Care Rate $12
- Combined Before & After Care Rate $12.59
- Families receiving financial assistance to help with child care fees through the Region on Waterloo’s subsidy program will also receive a reduction to their eligible parent contribution amounts and will be billed the reduced rate.
- September 2024 to September 2025- Families will see further reductions in fees, culminating in an average of $10-a-day child care by September 2025.
For students in JK – Grade 6
