Victoria Kids Out and About is enrolled in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI) which is a government subsidized program that reduces parent's monthly fees by $545/month for the 3-5 age group, and $900/month for the 0-3 age group. All families and caregivers are eligible for this reduction and the reduction is automatically applied each month.

Please contact us for more information regarding fees.

*Please note CCFRI is based on number of days enrolled/wk for part-time

Vic Kids requires one full month's notice if your child needs to change their care contract (days they are attending each week or timeslot), this request may be declined by Vic Kids if we are unable to accommodate your needs.

Vic Kids requires one full month's notice if your child will be leaving the centre. For example, if you want to leave October 31, notice must be given on or before September 30. If the last day falls on a weekend or statutory holiday notice must be given the Friday before. Failure to give a full notice will result in a full month’s payment being owed. If the fees are not paid, court action may be taken. No refunds on any childcare payments are offered.

Victoria Kids Out and About reserves the right to change fees once a year. 60 days’ notice will be given to all families before any changes are made.

Fee Schedule

Fees are taken on the 1st of each month, or bi-monthly (1st and 15th). Please let Vic Kids management aware of your preference. Changes to your payment schedule must be requested before the last day of the month prior the change being applied. For example, if you want to change your schedule for January, notice must be received on or before November 30. If the last day falls on a weekend or statutory holiday, notice must be given the Friday before.

If payment is late a charge of $35/day is added. An additional $50.00 will be charged for each NSF payment.

Additional Fees

Victoria Kids Out and About does reserve the right to charge for our food program separately due to financial hardship or for budgetary reasons. All other policy around our food program will apply, this includes no outside food permitted within our centre. A 30-day notice will be provided in writing.

Vic Kids may request extra fees from time to time to cover the cost of special fieldtrips or extra curricular activities (swim lessons). Parents will be notified of these fees in advance. If you are unable to pay these costs, please reach out to management as we may be able to assist. We do not want any child to miss out due to financials.

Should you pick up your child late, a charge of $20 will be owed to your child’s educator. Late pick-up fees can be paid with cash or e-transfer directly to the affected staff member.

Any families registered with the Affordable Child Care Benefit, (ACCB) will be responsible for all fees while waiting for approval or renewals. Reimbursement will be paid upon fee disbursement from the provincial government. To avoid paying full fees, please ensure your application/renewal is submitted in advance. Subsidy can take up to 6 weeks to process.
