Ontario Caps Daycare Fees at $22 for Children Under 6

 


In a significant move to make child care more affordable, the Ontario government has announced that starting in January 2025, parent fees for children under the age of six in Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) programs will be capped at $22 per day. This fee reduction is expected to result in additional savings of nearly $300 million in 2025 for families.

The new funding model also introduces a cost-based approach for operators in the CWELCC program, prioritizing stability and predictability. Families facing the highest fees, particularly those with young children in less affordable communities, will see the largest fee reductions.

This initiative aims to provide more stability and predictability to child-care centers, ultimately helping reduce lengthy wait-lists and supporting parents as they enter the workforce with peace of mind.
