Hours of Operation
Our daycare is open from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
All children must be picked up by 6:30 p.m. unless special arrangements have been made in advance.
A late fee of $1.00 per minute will apply for pick-ups after closing time.
Fees & Payments
Registration Fee: A non-refundable $299 fee per child is required at the time of enrolment.
Deposit: A deposit equal to 20 days of fees per child must be paid before your child’s first day. This deposit will be held in a non-interest-bearing account and applied upon withdrawal (with proper notice).
Example: A child attending full-time, 5 days per week = 20 days × daily fee.

Late or Returned Payments:
$5.00 late fee per day for overdue payments.
$60.00 fee for returned (NSF) cheques.
After two returned cheques, future payments must be made in cash.
Absences
Please notify the daycare before 9:00 a.m. if your child will be absent. You may call, text, or leave a voicemail.
For planned vacations, provide written notice with the dates your child will be away.
Fees remain payable during absences due to illness, statutory holidays, or vacation to maintain your child’s spot in the program.
Illness Policy
To protect all children, a sick child may not attend daycare. Children may return once symptoms have cleared.
A child is considered ill if they have any of the following:

Discipline & Adjustment
All new children start with a two-week trial period to help them adjust and to ensure a good fit.
During this time, either the parent/guardian or the day care may choose to end the agreement without penalty.
Termination of Care
The daycare reserves the right to terminate care at any time for reasons including, but not limited to:
- Late or unpaid fees
- Repeated misbehavior or disruptive conduct
- Situations affecting the safety and well-being of others
- Parents/guardians may also withdraw their child at any time by giving 60 days’ written notice.
