Kids U provides exceptional value for money! We provide all daily toileting consumables for children including diapers, wipes, and diaper cream. Breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks are included in our extended care programs, while our Preschool only programs include lunch. Bedding is provided in all Infant programs. In addition, your tuition goes towards all required materials for day to activities, individualized reports and assessments for every child, special guests, projects, and specialized instruction, participation in special events as well as Parent Education Nights and other adult-oriented educational programs.

Fresh, mostly organic, hand-made meals are an included part of our service, and there are no additional charges for dietary substitutions and accommodations for allergies. While parents are always welcome to prepare and send lunch or breakfast for their child, opting out of meals does not impact our tuition rates. 

In the summer our attention shifts to delivering exceptional summer camp experiences based on fun, educational themes that encourage children to get outside, stay active, think creatively, socialize with their friends and much more. By shifting our focus, children, teachers and families are given flexibility to enjoy summer holidays while also staying in the routine of daily learning.

We have a one family, one registration fee policy, which means for families that have at least one child actively enrolled at any of the Kids U campuses, registration fee for any subsequent siblings at Kids U would not be charged. 

TWIN DISCOUNT: For families of twins or triplets, the cost of child care can be even higher than for a family with multiple siblings. For this reason, we provide a 10% discount for families of twins and triplets enrolled at Kids U.

Kids U curriculum is unique and takes time for children and families to understand. Drop in care is only available to existing Kids U children who are scheduled part-time, or to children who have graduated from our Preschool program and require additional Kindergarten care during holidays.

At Kids U, we believe that all children are capable, competent, creative and able to learn. We also recognize that the learning needs of every child are unique and require special care and attention. If you are the parent of a child with special needs or developmental delays, please connect with a member of our team so that we can understand the best way to support you.

• Senior Infant (12 months to 18 months) – 4:1
• Junior Preschool (19 months to 3 years) – 6:1
• Senior Preschool (3 years to 6 years) – 8:1
• Summer Camps (7 to 12 years, July & August) – 10:1

In Alberta, it is not a requirement to have your child immunized before attending child care, preschool or school. We do request that parents inform us if their immunizations are up to date.

According to the Government of Alberta and Alberta Health Services, children attending daycares are exempt from wearing masks inside the campuses. However, all visitors to the campuses are required to wear a mask, and as per Kids U’s own policy, all staff members are required to wear a mask throughout the day.

Having a child with a severe allergy or medical condition is not easy for parents. We are proud of working directly with families to develop medical plans that support children’s needs to learn and socialize while also being safe. Each of these plans are developed individually prior to enrollment in order to reassure parents that they are making the best choice for their child. This may require additional reviews with our team members so that everyone has a shared understanding of your individual requirements.
