For Employers

The benefit your people actually need

Childcare is the reason good staff turn down shifts, delay a return from leave, or leave a job entirely. We have a straightforward partnership that takes that problem off your desk.

Wetaskiwin — not-for-profit
The Offer

We sponsor the parent portion for 6 months

For partner employers in the Wetaskiwin area, we cover the monthly parent portion — currently about $326.25 per month per child — for the first 6 months of an employee's enrolment. It is a shared investment: you help us fill our rooms, we help you keep your people.

Real money, not a discount code

The parent portion is sponsored outright for 6 months. Your employee's out-of-pocket childcare cost for that period is nil, before any subsidy they also qualify for.

Priority placement

Partner-employer families are placed first as spaces open, and we hold a standing conversation with your HR contact about upcoming needs.

Hours that fit shift work

Open 6:45am – 5:30pm, Monday to Friday, with daycare for 6 months to 6 years and Out of School Care for 6 to 12 years in the same building.

How It Works

Four steps, no paperwork burden

1

A 20-minute conversation

We come to you. You tell us where childcare is costing you shifts, recruitment or return-to-work time.

2

We write it up as a benefit

You get a one-page description your HR team can drop straight into an offer letter or a benefits summary.

3

Your staff enrol directly with us

We handle registration, subsidy paperwork and billing with the family. Nothing routes through your payroll.

4

We report back

You get a simple summary of how many of your employees are using the benefit — no personal details, no admin for you.
