My agency fees are minimal ($50/month), but in AB you can get wage top-up if you are with an accredited agency and are qualified (everything from working in a daycare/with children to any degree involving children or education). It's $2.21-6.62/per hour you are open with a child under school age. It doesn't seem like much but can add up quickly (my full months are ~$1200 on top of the monthly fee each child pays).

Thanks

Basically the AB government will pay you extra money just for being open if you are eligible for one of their 3 designations of childcare workers and are with an accredited agency. It's an incentive program to entice individuals who have formal training or education to open day homes. You'd have to speak with someone at an agency as I know it varies as to what sort of training they accept at which level.
