Sibling discount
Sibling discounts are automatically calculated for children with the same legal residence. This discount applies across preschool, primary school, and after-school programs. Sibling discount on day care fees is 100% for each child beyond the first. Sibling discounts on food are 100% for every child after the first two.
How is the sibling discount calculated?
A sibling discount is automatically calculated for children from the same legal residence. This discount applies to both stays and meals and is calculated as follows:
Day care fee discount for siblings
Applies across all services including day parent care, preschool, primary school, and after-school programs. For every child after the first, there is a 100% discount off the day care fee for the same number of hours that the younger child attends.
Meal fee discount for siblings
Applies across all services including preschool, primary school, and after-school programs. The discount is 100% if there are two or more registered children.
