Nurture's fee's
We are applying to opt in!
The Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI) lowers the cost of child care for parents each month, making childcare more affordable for you and your family. Nurture's parent portion fee (below) includes this reduction.
Furthermore, all families are eligible to apply for the BC Affordable Child Care Benefit (ACCB). This benefit is calculated based on family income and provides up to $550- $1,250.00 per month for childcare, depending on the age of your child.

Full Time Rate per child (parent portion):
Infant rates (12-36 months) - $1,295.00*
Toddler rates (36months-school age) - $995.00**
*Rate is calculated as follows. Full fee = $1,645.00 - $350.00 (Fee Reduction Initiative) = $1,295.00 (parent portion). Families of children under 36 months who are eligible for the BC Affordable Child Care Benefit can have expenses covered up to $1,250.00 per month.
** Rate is calculated as follows. Full fee = $1,095.00 - $100.00 (Fee Reduction Initiative) = $995.00 (parent portion). Families of children aged 3-5 who are eligible for the BC Affordable Child Care Benefit can have expenses covered up to $550.00 per month.

Full Time & Part Time
Please note, our part time spots are limited and will not be available until 2022. Priority is given to full time applicants.
As we all know, finding daycare, especially infant childcare spots, is a challenge and we want to ensure that our limited number of daycare spots will be fully utilized. For families requiring 3 days a week for childcare, we will ask you to sign on as a 'Primary applicant'. What this means is that you are the principle applicant responsible for the full time spot (and fee's), and are sharing your spot with another part time family.
Part time 'Primary Applicant' example
Ming needs childcare for her 12 month old daughter Xiu three days per week on Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday. Ming is offered a spot at Nurture and signs on for July 2020 as the 'Primary applicant' for the spot. Nurture puts out a call seeking a secondary family to take the part time space available on Thursdays and Fridays. Nurture successfully finds the McGivney family to 'share' Ming's childcare spot. In March 2021, the McGivney family informs Nurture they will be moving to Halifax in June 2021. Nurture puts out a call to fill the 2 day/week spot and is unsuccessful. As the 'Primary applicant', Ming is responsible to pay for the full time spot beginning in June until a suitable family is secured for the part time spot. Ming also has the option to secure the full time spot for her daughter indefinitely, changing her enrolment from part time to full time.
Program Type
Nurture currently offers two multi-age programs for a total of sixteen children aged 12 months-4 years. We are currently in the process of working with Island Health to expand our programming in January 2021 to reflect one Multi-age program and one IT (infant-toddler) program to address the high demand for more infant spots in our city.
