Using a school uniform creates a sense of community and routine that can help children get in the mindset of belonging and "ready to attend school". It also helps the children be themselves, rather than feel judged for what clothing they are wearing (Yes, unfortunately this does happen within this age group).

We do not provide transportation for children at this time.

Generally, to help with independence we ask that parents do not attend with their children. If the child is particularly distressed the parent may sit with them.

Volunteer opportunities may be available. Simply ask an administrator for information and a volunteer letter to apply for a police clearance check.

We appreciate feedback on our programs and if there are ways that we can make your child more comfortable we love to know! You are always free to talk to our teachers directly as they are very receptive. If it is a more personal matter or you are uncomfortable in any way please speak to an administrator.

We do not provide food at this time. Families are required to pack snacks and lunch for their children. A fridge is provided in each room for cold food storage as well as a microwave to heat food.

There is a $175 non-refundable registration fee.

We accept either cheques or e-transfers. Payments are due on or before the first of each month.

Unfortunately not. We staff our school based on the number of children registered in the program. We are unable to accommodate or make changes to staffing based on individual families.
