Educational Centres | Daycare

AFRY is pleased to confirm its participation in the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care System. This program was established by the federal government and is administered by the Province of Ontario.

We offer French-language daycare services designed to meet the needs of our families.

In our educational centres, every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in French.

This program aims to reduce childcare fees in educational centres toward $10 per day for eligible children aged 0 to 5.

Reduced Childcare Fees for Children Ages 0–5

Toward More Affordable Childcare

The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care System aims to make licensed childcare more affordable for eligible children between the ages of 0 and 5.

French-language daycares are essential for high-quality early childhood development and play a key role in children’s language development.
