What daycare costs in Laval
Laval families have access to subsidized child care through CPEs (centres de la petite enfance) and subsidized garderies, which charge a low, set daily rate. These spots are in high demand — register through Quebec's centralized waiting list as early as possible.
Non-subsidized garderies set their own (higher) fees, but Quebec's refundable tax credit for child-care expenses offsets much of the difference. When comparing, look at the after-credit cost, not just the daily rate.
