CFEL Expands Nutrition Program with Local Farm Partnerships
New partnerships with local farms enhance our nutrition program, providing fresh, seasonal ingredients while teaching children about food systems.
We're proud to announce that CFEL is now a full participant in the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) program across all nine of our locations. This milestone represents our commitment to making high-quality early childhood education accessible to more families in our communities.
Through CWELCC, eligible families can expect to see substantial reductions in their child care fees—up to 50% in many cases. This program removes financial barriers that may have prevented families from accessing quality early learning programs, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to benefit from exceptional care and education.
While fees are reduced, our commitment to quality remains unchanged. CWELCC funding allows us to maintain our high standards of care, continue our professional development programs for staff, and even enhance our programming offerings.
Applying for CWELCC benefits is straightforward, and our enrollment team is here to help guide families through the process. Most families with children under 6 years of age are eligible, and there are no income restrictions for the program.
Current families enrolled at CFEL will automatically be transitioned to CWELCC rates once their eligibility is confirmed. New families can indicate their interest in CWELCC benefits during the enrollment process.
This expansion of CWELCC access represents more than just reduced fees—it's an investment in our community's future. By making quality early childhood education more accessible, we're supporting working families and giving more children the strong foundation they need for lifelong success.
We encourage all families to contact their local CFEL center to learn more about CWELCC benefits and how they can take advantage of this valuable program.
