BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
Our Program Philosophy
At Next Kids, we believe children thrive when they feel safe, valued, and encouraged to be themselves. Our Out of School Care and Preschool program is built around our guiding principle — Explore, Expand, and Excel.
Explore – We encourage children to discover their interests through hands-on activities, creative play, and meaningful learning experiences that spark curiosity and confidence.
Expand – We support children in developing new skills, strengthening friendships, and broadening their understanding of the world through guided learning, teamwork, and positive social interaction.
Excel – We empower children to achieve their best by building responsibility, independence, resilience, and a strong sense of self-worth.
Through a balanced blend of academic support, creative expression, physical activity, and emotional guidance, our program helps every child grow into a confident, capable, and compassionate learner.

WHAT IS AFFORDABILITY GRANT?
Alberta and Canada’s governments have signed an agreement to reduce child care fees in half for parents with kids zero to kindergarten age starting early 2022 and reach an average of $10 a day child care by 2025-26. The government is doing this in two ways: by providing affordability grants directly to the licensed child care centers (like Tiny Town Daycare) so the centers can lower fees for all parents, and by raising the income threshold for child care subsidy up to $180,000.
So, the affordability grant and subsidy will work together for those parents who qualify for a subsidy based on their income, but the affordability grant will be available for all parents regardless of their family income.
