Earlier this year, we introduced our service-focused feature, Hours By Request, as a support for families who like daycare to be really flexible.

The add-on for admin has been a hit with short-notice appointment makers, and the added admin has been a breeze for the admin team. ... Actually, when Ayumi and Lynn handle the hours and payment for families, it creates less admin...

They're kind of amazing like that. 🙂

Our two hard-working managers give families flexible options for licensed educational care, with two amazing social spaces, and two creative teams of teachers. All members have access to both! Why not take full advantage?

Plus, when the morning spots at one centre are full, we're can offer a back-up back-up. Families who tried the other centre in the fall usually did so to access the extra spaces, just 12 minutes away!

... but they loved that all the processes, and even some teachers, were the same, which made the drop-offs easier than ever.

Just let us know you've filled in the application and we'll get you signed up.

Starting in December, we're updating our membership options to provide better access to care, and taking care of the admin.

The monthly fee to Buddings provides access to our centres, website, and helps us cover the costs of running the programs. All payments to our daycare are tax deductible, and we issue tax summaries in February.

Due to rising costs for staff, services, and supplies, we are implementing the new membership options on Dec. 1, increasing both the cost and access to care options for our members. 

Yes!

Membership is always per family, and multi-child families have the most to gain from our Benefits Membership! You'll find the maximum number of hours credited to your accounts (up to 160 hours/month for 2 kids) on the 25th of the month, and will be billed only for what you use, at $18/hour.

No 🙁

Occasional care is not eligible for any government programs or subsidies, despite a decade of talks with the provincial government reps, and acknowledgement at every level that flexibility is valuable. Maybe they'll change it in 2023...
