Effective January 2022, the Child Care Subsidy was announced (under the federal-provincial child care agreement – https://www.alberta.ca/federal-provincial-child-care-agreement.aspx), which subsidized eligible licensed preschool programs a flat $75 per student.
Further – if a family meets additional eligibility requirements (see website linked below), they can apply for an additional subsidy that would reduce tuition further. To apply and receive this subsidy, please follow the instructions provided by the Alberta.ca website:
