Accepted Answer

Child Care Fees are due by 9am on or before the 1st of the month. If the 1st is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday you must pay on the Friday before.

Question 2

Is food provided?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All food supplied is included in your fee (excluding a special diet, formula, baby food). I provide a hot lunch and 2 snacks daily. Lunches and snacks are based on the Canada Food Guide. I ask that no outside food be brought to Child Care, However if your child is on a special diet you will be asked to provide 2 healthy snacks and a healthy lunch as per the canadian food guide, at your own cost.

Question 4

Do you have a waiting list?

Accepted Answer

A wait list will be formed when full enrollment has been reached.
1. There will be a maximum of 7 children at any time.
2. Children are accepted into care on a first come first serve basis.
3. The child's name will be entered according to the date of initial contact.

Please fill out the application with the apply now button on the home page with as much information as possible. I have received several applications with no way of getting in contact with a parent. 
 Once a space comes available I will e-mail you to set up an interview to ensure your family will be a good fit for my program. If at that time I do not get a response by the available date you will be removed from the waitlist.
