Our program is designed for children 2.5-6 years old. We are able to accept a small percentage of our enrollment under the age of 2.5 but this will be based on availability and at the discretion of the teacher. We encourage interested families to attend an open house or book a tour to determine suitability.

Our program runs from 9:15am – 12:15pm September-June. We follow the same schedule as local schools so we are closed on all statutory holidays, PD Days, Christmas Break, March Break and Summer.

No, we do not offer a drop-in option. We ask that families select and keep a consistent schedule when registering in the program.

Yes, you can select either the Monday & Wednesday program or the Tuesday, Thursday & Friday program or you can select all 5 days.

A cooperative means that parents/caregivers run the school in collaboration with the teaching staff. This consists of joining a committee or serving on the Board of Directors, helping with laundry, cleaning and fundraising; attending general meetings. Caregivers will also act as Duty Parents in the classroom, assisting with supervision 5 times during the school year.

• Assist with set up

In accordance with our Equity and Inclusion Policy, we strive to find ways to include all children and remove any barriers that prevent children from actively participating in our program. We believe that each child is unique and, in partnership with families and special needs resources staff, we are committed to meeting the developmental/educational needs of all children.

As a way to increase school readiness, children are strongly encouraged to bring their own snack and water bottle to the program.

Yes, we do accept city subsidy.

All fees should be paid by cheque unless otherwise approved by the Board. If e-transfer must be used, payment must be received by the 24th of the month preceding enrolment and every month thereafter. If payment is not received by the end of the day on the 24th, a late fee of $25 will be added to the fee for that month.

Some diseases, infections, etc. have specific isolation periods, so please check with our teachers prior to returning to program.
