NVRC’s three licensed preschools—Delbrook, Lonsdale and Sandpiper—have once again been approved for funding under the province’s Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI). The CCFRI helps make child care more affordable for families by offering funding to eligible, licensed child care providers. This support helps to reduce and stabilize monthly child care fees for families.

This means fees for the 2025/26 school year will be reduced for parents and caregivers! Families do not need to apply; savings are passed on directly by providers each month through reduced costs for each child in a participating licensed child care centre.

If you would like more information about CCFRI and to access a CCFRI child care fee savings estimator tool, please visit the ‘CCFRI – information for families’ page on the provincial government’s website.

There are still spots available for fall enrollment! Our licensed preschools focus on preparing children for kindergarten in a positive learning environment that creates unforgettable memories, and builds self-confidence and life skills. Learn more about our preschools and register at nvrc.ca/preschool.
