Child Care Waitlist
We are currently growing our waitlist for future enrolments. If you would like to join our waitlist for August 2026 or later, please email us at ChildCare@ymcacalgary.org
Families with a child on the centre’s waitlist will be contacted by a member of our team when a space, matching their child’s age, is available. Current waitlist registrations will be transferred to the next calendar year’s waitlist without additional charge.
Shawnessy YMCA Child Development Centre Fees:
The Government of Alberta’s Affordability Grant benefits families by reducing monthly fees. The affordability grant is applied to the full monthly fee for each child’s registration, reducing the amount the family pays for child care services.
