Preschool Tuition Subsidy



Preschool can be an important part of early learning! Learning how to socialize, how to cope and become resilient, how to share, how to be independent and learning how to learn are some of the benefits. 

In Saskatoon there are a number of preschools for parents to choose from – tuition may be a barrier but then again, maybe not. The Saskatoon Preschool Foundation has made available tuition subsidy application forms: “In accordance with its vision and mission, the Saskatoon Preschool Foundation will allocate funds within its annual budget to provide subsidies for a portion of the preschool tuition fees for children enrolled or wishing to enrol in an eligible preschool program, where the payment of tuition fees presents a financial hardship”. 

There are limited funds available for this purpose – applications are considered on a first come first served basis. To look at the application form you can visit their website at www.spf.sk.ca  or call the foundation office at 683-8384. Learning is for life and we can never begin too soon! Lifelong learning is essential in our modern world in order to keep up with current job market demands – look into this unique opportunity for you and your child(ren) as a way to possibly begin this process!
