INVOICING
Invoices are sent to parents or guardians monthly. Invoices are normally emailed, although parents or guardians can ask for paper invoices. Receipts are emailed for each payment made, and a yearly receipt for income tax purposes will be distributed by the end of February of the following year.
Fees are based on the number of days in the month and are invoiced at the beginning of the month.
Payments must be made in full and on time. There are drop boxes located at both sites for payments. If alternate payment arrangements or payment plans are needed they must be discussed with the Executive Director. Cheque, or automatic withdraw from your account is available.
Fees are due the 15th of each month.

Late Fees and Collections
Child care fees must be paid on time. If payment is not received, you will receive a secondary notice and have a specified number of days to pay. If payment is not received, a late payment fee will be charged to your account. BBE will act to collect unpaid fees by working with the parent or guardian to arrange a payment plan. Failure to abide by the agreed upon payment plan is grounds for immediate withdrawal of service. The Centre will take additional steps to collect payment by sending your account to a collection agency.
Fee Structure
As a funded Centre, our daily fee structure is regulated by the Manitoba Early Learning and Child Care Program. For more information on Manitoba’s maximum daily fees visit the Government of Manitoba’s website www.gov.mb.ca/childcare. In the event of absence, closure or inclement weather preventing families from attending the centre, fees will remain in effect.
Subsidy
The Manitoba Early Learning and Child Care Program provides a subsidy for child care fees for eligible families based on net annual income. We recommend you apply for the subsidy prior to your child’s start date or renew prior to the expiry date as it may take 4-6 weeks to be processed. Please ensure you keep track of allowable absent days and your subsidy expiration date. You will be responsible for paying full child care fees if your subsidy ends. You can request the application forms from the Executive Director, visit the BBE website, or apply at www.mbchildcareonline
