Affordable Child Care... At What Cost?
Insights about the 2024-25 Affordability Grant Agreement
Fostering Choice
- Operators signed the affordability agreement to ensure access to financial support for all families.
- We acknowledge the financial challenges that many of our families are currently navigating.
- We are committed to the well-being of our families.
- We are dedicated to providing high-quality childcare services.
Impacts on Cash Flow
- Government's Affordability Grant payments delayed (40-45 days). Daycare operators face financial strain, resort to costly financing for essential expenses.
- Childcare providers suffer 2-year financial losses due to inadequate fee caps Current fee cap lags behind inflation (9% vs. 15.2%), endangering childcare business viability
- The administrative burden imposed by the program, is an average cost of $20-30 per child per month.
Impacts on Families
- We may be unable to maintain extra educators for coverage . When an educator is unable to work, childcare may not be available.
- We may need to adjust our operational hours in response to employee availability, to optimize our resources and to maintain the quality of childcare services.
- Adjustments of supplies and extra programming may be implemented to effectively manage our budget.

Happy Clients
A little bit of what our families say about us.
As new parents, we had no experience with daycares. We are both working full time for the CF and needed a reliable and perfect place to leave our son without stressing every second. After visiting multiple places (1 daycare and a few day homes), we knew we were picking EW the second we walked in. We wanted a place that would be safe, educational, and close to home. We found what we were looking for and more with Exploring Wonders!

My daughter has been attending Exploring Wonders for the past 1.5 years and she loves it there. She started daycare at 5 months old and even though she was so young they made us feel comfortable from day one. The patience, warmth, care, and kindness they show the children is exceptional. They have a strong focus on open-ended play and teaching independence. My daughter always surprises me with new songs and skills she’s learned. I cannot say enough good things about them and highly recommend them.
Alicia and Roshan
Our son has been a part of Exploring Wonders since he was 13 months old. He has
experienced excellent care in every program in the past 3 years. The staff plan activities
that are geared toward developing each child’s cognitive, social, emotional, speech and
fine and gross motor skills in age-appropriate ways. The staff are genuinely interested in
the children and our son loves attending daycare and seeing his teachers. He has
grown so much developmentally and socially from being with peers of similar age and
being in a stimulating environment each day.
Lisa and Mitch
As parents, peace of mind when it comes to childcare is one of the most valuable things
we can imagine. Exploring Wonders delivers exactly that. Right from day one, we’ve felt
secure in knowing that when we drop our children off, they’ll be looked after with great
kindness & care. Communication between daycare & home has always been easy &
abundant, and the owners & staff are very open to conversation and new ideas. Each
child is seen for who they are, and their individual interests are always considered, as
well as the needs of the group. When we were looking for inclusive childcare for our
son, we were thrilled by the way that he was welcomed with open arms & minds, and
the support & encouragement he received every day. Thank you for making our
childcare experience amazing & stress-free!
Gillian and Carl
Our son started at Exploring Wonders when he turned one. We really appreciate the
social and educational environment provided. There has been a focus on age-
appropriate and play-based learning. He has been ushered through the age groups as
he has grown, now joining the oldest class. We feel sure that he is spending his days in
a safe and nurturing environment. So sure, that we signed up our daughter at 8 months
old and she is thriving at Exploring Wonders, too!
Meghan and Thor
Exploring Wonders has the most amazing staff. I have always felt that they cared for my
kids as much as I did. My kids have loved each teacher in each room, and we have
always called it school. My kids have learned so much from the early childcare
educators and the programming at Exploring Wonders. We didn't put our oldest in little
steps because he was already getting quality education at Exploring Wonders. The
centre is bright, clean, cheerful, and safe. Communication is amazing. Staff will contact
me to clarify any of my overbearing mom instructions or remind me when I forgot to
bring something. And the "HiMama" app is so great for knowing what the kids ate, and
how long they slept. My children have thrived at Exploring Wonders. And I am so
thankful for this childcare centre and the amazing staff that keep it running!
