Umbrella's 2019/2020 Fee and Salary Survey

The goal of the survey is simple. It answers the most asked questions in the child care field: what everyone else is charging, paying, or being paid!

This valuable survey includes statistics on parent fees, staff salaries, and statistics on vacation credits, sick days and benefits such as health and dental plan coverage, and much more.

The survey is extremely useful for Board members when deciding what fees to set and salaries to pay. Many centres also use it for interested parents when they enquire about day care costs in their area. Also, E.C.E. graduates often use the figures in this survey to set realistic salary goals.

Umbrella Annual Conference 2019

Each year Umbrella hosts a conference. It is attended by child care professionals, parents, board members and volunteers. There are many excellent workshops to choose from as well as a wide variety of exhibitors from the daycare field. The conference provides professional development for childcare providers as well as a great way to network with other professionals in the childcare field and share information and ideas.

The 2019 Conference was a great success and we look forward to seeing you next year!
