I don't know how many daycare spaces there are in Alberta, but if I assume 100,000 based on 789,000 kids in this province between the ages of 0 and 14.
So we're going to subsidize 240 per month x 100,000 = 24,000,000 per month x 12 = $288,000,000

amusing numbers. I pay over $1500 a month for my 2.5 year old daughter to go to daycare 5 days a week.
that average must include kids that are only in for 1-2 days a week.
As an aside, I'm sure the fact that I have a good job will exempt me from any savings. and there will be a "daycare premium" added onto my fees. Thanks Notley.
