Our Policies
Ages from 10 month and older. Your child will learn and play in a fun, loving and supportive environment, nutritious lunches and snacks, naptime, indoor/outdoor activities.
If you like our Daycare you need to apply application before I can assume the responsibility of caring for your child.
Our Daycare is open 52 weeks each year.We operate from Monday to Friday, 7:00a.m to 6:00p.m (except of Christmas Eve and New Year Eve, when the daycare is closed). If the event that your child is not picked up by 6:00p.m, a late fee will be charged. This fee will be due and payable upon your arrival.
When your child is not picked up by 6:15 p.m. and we have not received a telephone call; we will attempt to contact either parent. If we are unable to reach either parent, we will try calling the emergency contact person.
Child Care will be close on the following statutory holidays:
January - New Year’s Day
February - Family Day
April - Good Friday
May - Victoria Day
July - Canada Day
August - Civic Holiday
September - Labour Day
October - Thanksgiving Day
December - Christmas and Boxing day
NOTE: Even though the daycare is closed for statutory holidays, regular fees still apply for those days.
To allow your child to benefit from the program and feel part of the group, we ask that you bring your child in before 9:00a.m. We ask that parents call us if a child will be joining the program after 9:00a.m., otherwise the teacher will assume your child is absent.
If your child has a morning doctor’s appointment, we ask that you arrive no later then 12:00p.m. so your child can join us for lunch.
Remember to always say "good-bye” to your child when dropping him/her off. Sneaking out the door only upsets your child further. Letting your child know that you are leaving and coming back later promotes trust and reassurance in your relationship.
Children will be allowed to leave the daycare only with their parents or those adults designated on the emergency form.
If your child is not feeling well during the day, we will give you’re a call to let your know. Depending on the symptoms of illness, you could be asked to pick up your child. Your child cannot attend a daycare with the following illness or symptoms:
1. Diarrhea, vomiting.
A child must be completely over their illness and be able to be eating their normal diet prior to returning to the daycare. Your child could only return after a 24 hour period.
2. Fever of 99F or higher.
A child must be strong and in good health enough to participate in all daily activities prior to returning to the daycare.
3. Chicken Pox.
All pox has to be scabbed and dry prior to returning to the daycare. Usually takes up to two weeks.
4. Lice.
A treatment of lice shampoo must be administered. All nits (eggs) must be combed out of the hair in order for your child to return to the daycare. Sometimes it takes a few days until all nits are out.
*** A doctor’s note is required when a child is away with any above and/or contagious illness and has been away for 3 days or more. That note has to indicate why your child was absent and a date when he/she can return to the daycare.
