Many Manitobans with children in nursery school could soon be paying more than double the current daily fees, under a new funding arrangement implemented by the provincial government. The province is scrapping the enhanced operating grant program, under which guardians pay $5 a day per child at 66 nursery schools in Manitoba. It is putting in its place a single funding model for all 162 nursery schools, which will result in daily fees rising to a maximum of $10.40, starting July 1.
