Licensed Preschool Program

Cookie Monster Preschool

Our History
The Cookie Monster Preschool has been serving families since 1972 at the Douglas Recreation Centre. Over time the program has developed from a recreational program to a licensed preschool. We are proud of our history and the quality of our preschool.

Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative

We are pleased to announce that Cookie Monster Preschool has been approved to participate in The Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI). This initiative enhances childcare affordability by offering funding to eligible, licenced child care providers to reduce and stabilize parents’ monthly child care fees.

Parent fee reduction amounts that Cookie Monster Preschool will receive are prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Child Care and are based on the type of care. The fee reduction that has been approved is $4.75/day.  

Registration Fees

There is a $50 non-refundable registration fee and the annual fee accounts for all classes in a school year (September 2024 - June 2025). Fees will be charged based on the number of classes each month and fees pro-rated if required.
