Playschool subsidy

We understand that it may be hard for some families to pay for childcare. That's why, in Leduc County, we offer a playschool subsidy. Learn how to apply for the subsidy and see if you qualify.

Apply for the subsidy

If you would like to register your child for preschool or playschool, but are concerned about affording the fees, email us or give us a call at 780-770-9254. We'll answer your questions and give you more information, including information on how to apply.

Eligibility and funding

To be eligible for the playschool subsidy, you must:

• be a resident of Leduc County, Calmar, Thorsby, or Warburg
• have a gross household annual income of less than $78,000
• have a child between the ages of 3 and 5 registered in a playschool or preschool

If you are approved for the Leduc County Playschool Subsidy, we will pay the subsidy directly to your child's playschool or preschool. You will be responsible for paying the remaining portion of the school fees and any additional fees, such as fundraising or rostering requirements.

Income guidelines

The amount of the playschool subsidy depends on your family size and monthly income. Family size is based on the total number of people in the family regardless of age or family status. If approved, Leduc County will subsidize between 25 and 75 per cent of the monthly playschool or preschool fees.
