Montessori Children’s House is enrolled in the Canada Wide Early Learning Child Care system (CWELCC). All families with children six or under as of June 30 attending care, have seen a fee reduction of up to 25% retroactive to April 1, 2022. Parents can expect a further reduction of 37% at the end of December 2022 which will bring the total reduction to 52.75% for 2023. The next reduction is scheduled in September of 2024, and the final reduction, to an average of $10/day, by 2025/2026. In 2023, parents are responsible to pay 47.25% of our approved “base fees”. CWELCC will cover the rest. Additional fees that may incur such as late fees, field trips / on-site visits, etc. are considered “non-base fees”. These fees are not covered by CWELCC.

 

 

In addition to the CWELCC program, Canadian taxpayers can still claim up to $8,000 per child of child care expenses on their personal tax return. Child care expenses can be claimed for the purposes of earning a living or going to school. This will, in turn, reduce your income, and the amount of taxes you pay will be lowered.

 

 

Families with a household income under 150K can also take advantage of the Ontario Child Care Tax Credit (CARE). The amount you could receive is calculated using your Child Care Expense Deduction, multiplied by the Ontario Child Care Tax Credit rate that is based on your family income.

 

 

This is very important! Please keep all invoice emails you receive from us. As you make payments, these invoices are marked “paid”. They can then be used as tax receipts to claim the Child Care Expense Deduction and the Ontario Child Care Tax Credit. We do not print out tax receipts at the end of the year. We use quick book online where you cab download your full year statement.

 

 

Child Care Fee Subsidy is made available to families by DNSSAB . Depending on your household income, and the amount of your child care expenses, you could qualify for fee assistance. You must be attending school or working in order to qualify..
