GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE
We do offer subsidy available for all parents requiring financial
assistance to pay for their child's childcare fees. All subsidy is
filled out online by clicking on the subsidy picture on the side.
Parents are responsible to pay the full amount until subsidy is
approved. Adjustments on fees are made once we receive the 1st
payment and applied to fees.
SPECIAL NEEDS
We accommodate special needs in our program. We are coordinated with several Early Childhood programs that assist children with developmental delays. We have screenings 2x a year through IM 4 Kids. We also welcome other organizations to conduct screenings or have aides in the program to assist children. Please talk to our office staff for more information!
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PROGRAM
We assume that parents have put in time and consideration in choosing Childsplace Learning Centres Ltd. for their child's preschool education, and we strive to make the child's experience a positive one.
If the parents decide to withdraw the child from the preschool program requires 30 days written notice so that future payments are not withdrawn. Before and After School program requires 45 days written notice. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS to this policy.
Withdrawals from the program are required in writing to Ms.Crystal by email. All withdrawal notices must be received no later than 1 calendar month before the next month’s start date. If you don’t give a month’s notice, you will be responsible for the fees in the next month (withdrawal given on April 15 for May 1 date, parent must pay to May 15). All withdrawals are subject to an administration fee of $25.
The registration fee is NON REFUNDABLE under any given circumstances.
The deposit for preschool is non transferable to another month, non refundable (unless approved, see below) and is only applicable to the last month of the school year (June).
The deposit is used for the last month of care in the program. Short notice withdrawals will mean that your remaining of the notice period is deducted from your deposit.
We reserve the right to withdraw a child/family from the program without notice, and no refund of monthly fees, due to the following circumstances:
- Continual aggressive behavior from a child
- Aggressive behavior (yelling, belittling, hitting, swearing, etc) towards staff and/or other kids from a parent/guardian
