Run your Alberta daycare, the way Alberta asks.
Run your Alberta centre with the Affordability Grant on every family's invoice (and child care subsidy for out-of-school care), incidents reported to your licensing officer right away, and Level 1 to 3 educator certificates tracked for every staff member.
Alberta's funding on every invoice
Each child's fee plan, with the Affordability Grant and Child care subsidy taken off the family's invoice, prorated for part months.
Affordability Grant
Paid to the centre by Alberta; brings the family's fee down to the flat parent fee. Families see the reduction on every invoice, and your monthly funding report totals it for your claim.
Child care subsidy
For out-of-school care; the subsidy for children up to kindergarten ended March 31, 2025. Shown on the invoice so each family sees exactly what they owe.
Year-end tax receipts
Child care receipts for every family, ready for the CRA child care expenses deduction, plus statements and exports for your accountant.
Incidents reported on time
When something happens, Clovernest shows whether it's reportable in Alberta and the deadline to tell your Alberta child care licensing officer (the statutory director).
Alberta requires a serious illness or injury, or any incident that may seriously affect a child's health or safety, to be reported to the statutory director forthwith (right away), in the way the director requires. Clovernest counts one hour.
Staff certificates, tracked
Every staff member's Alberta certificates with expiry dates, and a reminder before any lapse. Required for everyone: Criminal record check with vulnerable sector search.
