Child care in Quebec

Hey,

Quebec has one of the best child care system where it is accessible for everyone. The only thing you have to know is good daycare usually have a very heavy waiting list. Therefore you have to look around a lot.

There are 3 kind of daycares;
CPE which are government supported one. There are inspections and regulations each daycare have to follow therefore it is in good hand.
size: 40-80 children
Fees: 7$/day, the remaining fee the government are paying for.

Private daycare which are entrepreneur open one and manage it them self.
size of the daycare: 30-80 children
Fees: 25$/day to 35$/day but you can get 75% of the fees refund by the government. You can probably get more information once you are sign up for a private daycare, they will be able to guide you how to apply for the application.

Home daycare which are opened by a single mom and operating a daycare from their house.
size of the daycare: 3-8 children
fees: 20$/ day to 30$/day

Personally, CPE daycares are the best. The hardest to get in but the best for the kid. Since the government has strict regulations therefore each daycares has to follow the rules.
