Group Benefits Program for Small Child Care Teams & Family Day Home Educators

Are you a family day home educator or part of a small child care team with fewer than three staff? You may be eligible to join an affordable group benefits plan designed with your needs in mind, now available exclusively to AECEA members through Econo Coop and the Co-Operators.

This plan offers:

  • life & critical illness insurance
  • extended health & dental coverage
  • virtual health & employee assistance services
  • emergency out-of-Canada coverage

…and more, all without needing a large staff group.

There is an option to offer loss of revenue insurance in case of injury or illness for an additional cost.

Estimated cost as of June 2025*:

Individual: $136.03 monthly
