萨斯喀彻温省父母的日托费用较高,因为从2026年4月1日起,只有大约6岁儿童有资格享受每天10美元的幼儿园护理。 Saskatchewan parents face higher daycare costs as only some six-year-olds qualify for $10-a-day kindergarten care starting April 1, 2026.

萨斯喀彻温省澄清,根据一项新的联邦-省协议,只有年满6岁的儿童在2026年4月1日或之后才有资格获得每天10美元的幼儿园护理,此后,萨斯喀彻温省父母的日托费更高。 Saskatchewan parents are facing higher daycare fees after the province clarified that only children turning six on or after April 1, 2026, qualify for $10-a-day kindergarten care under a new federal-provincial agreement. 接线员说,他们被误导,认为2026-2027学年所有6岁儿童都会被包括在内,但资金限制阻止了在4月1日之前年满6岁的人得到追溯性支持。 Operators say they were misled into believing all six-year-olds in the 2026–2027 school year would be covered, but funding restrictions prevent retroactive support for those turning six before April 1. 因此,这些儿童的家庭现在每天支付30至85美元的全额费用。 As a result, families of these children now pay full rates ranging from $30 to $85 daily. 政府说重开协议不可行, 但反对派要求紧急追溯付款, 以减轻负担, The government says reopening the agreement is not feasible, but the opposition is calling for emergency retroactive payments to ease the burden.
