The CWELCC figures
CWELCC figures: choose your service area and "Fill from the regulation's table"; the base fee on December 31, 2024 and any authorized agreement go beside it.
Watch out: The check uses the lowest figure that applies, as s. 77.2(2) does. The regulation and your own fee on December 31, 2024 set them; KeepCount checks against what you enter.
More about this
An enrolled centre may not charge a base fee above the lower of $22 a day and either the base fee it charged on December 31, 2024 (if it was enrolled that day) or, if it was not, the amount in the regulation's table for its service area (O. Reg. 137/15, s. 77.2(1) and (2)). A different base fee applies only where the Minister has authorized the local service system to agree one with the centre (s. 77.2(3)): enter it under "Authorized agreement".
"Fill from the regulation's table" fills a site's figures from the tables of s. 77.2 as e-Laws prints them, read on October 15, 2026. Choose the program first: before and after school has its own table, and each fee says which program it is for.
"Paid closures", lower on Billing settings once the CWELCC box is ticked, takes each site's region (the municipality or district board that manages child care) and the closed days families may be charged for. Checks warns when a site's closures on the calendar go over; it never stops an invoice.
Your centre's words for people and its policies may differ; the screens are the same. The screen is from KeepCount 0.99.141, captured October 27, 2026 in a demonstration organization: everyone in it is fictional. Section numbers are O. Reg. 137/15 (General) under the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014, read on e-Laws on October 23, 2026. This explains how KeepCount works; it is not legal advice, and the Ministry's program advisors decide compliance.
