  • Affordable Learning with Government Subsidies

    Indus Preschool is proud to share that we receive a valuable government subsidy for each enrolled child, automatically reducing the monthly fee by $75 per child per month. This ensures that quality early education is not just enriching but also affordable for every family.

    Current Fees (2024-2025):

    • $65 one-time non-refundable registration fee
    • $50 One-time BVAS annual family membership
    • 2 Day Program: $125/month - $75/month subsidy = $50/month
    • 3 Day Program: $175/month - $75/month subsidy = $100/month

    Exciting news for families: The Provincial Government has expanded the combined family income eligibility for additional subsidies from $90,000 to $180,000 per year for preschool! This means that the subsidy can potentially cover the entirety of your preschool fees.

    To explore this opportunity, simply fill out an application if your family's combined income is $180,000 or less per year by visiting this link. We believe in making early education accessible, and this subsidy program is a testament to our commitment.

  • Due to our preschool being located within the Bill Heron Rec Centre, we require all families to have a BVAS family membership at an annual cost of $50 per family. With this membership, your child can enjoy skating during preschool class hours two weeks of the year. Your family can also come during public skating times for no additional cost to you; they also offer pickleball throughout the week and a fantastic Christmas dinner every year, to name a few benefits of this membership. Our families paying BVAS fees also helps keep our preschool fees low for everyone.

    Do you already have a BVAS membership? No problem! Once we receive proof of an annual membership renewal (after September 1st of the current year), we will reimburse you the $50!
