At Brown Bear Day Care
We are a provincially licensed child care centre providing a home-like environment for our children. Our program fees are set according to Ministry guidelines for child-teacher ratios.
A two-week childcare deposit is required upon enrolment and is calculated with the daily rate. This deposit is applied to your child’s last two weeks of care at Brown Bear.
A $20/day late fee will be charged for any payment received later than closing on the first of the month, as per the enrolment contract documents (please see these docs for details).
