Wait
List
If
the pre-school is at full capacity, we will maintain a waiting list of
spaces both for the current year and the following school year.
The wait list application must include the $75 Application Fee, $350 deposit and the 3 post
dated cheques required for enrollment.
In the event that the school cannot offer a space for your child, the
Application Fee, Deposit and cheques will promptly be returned.
Current students followed by their siblings are prioritized on the
list, and otherwise children are selected consecutively based upon their
place on the list and their choice of program. A school tour/visit is highly
recommended.
School Tour & Orientation
Before
deciding to enroll, we suggest parents visit the school with their child at
least once. This allows the
parents, teachers and Director to observe the child and assess their
readiness, as well as preparing the child for future enrollment.
This visit will also provide an opportunity to discuss your child,
and our centre philosophy as well as address any questions.
Once
enrolled, and before your child begins in regular programming, he/she
will participate in an orientation session.
Children enrolling in the spring for September will have the
opportunity to participate in June. Otherwise,
all children will begin in September with a series of staggered and
shortened days which will assist them in acclimatizing to new surroundings
and routines.
The
first two weeks of pre-school are an adjustment period.
During the first few days, parents are encouraged to stay with their child
as long as required, progressing to short absences. Once deciding to
leave, It is preferable to not hesitate when saying goodbye.
Empower your child by assuring him/her that they will have fun and
you will be back. It helps to offer your child something to look forward to at
the end of the day such as “After Preschool we’ll go home and have your
favorite snack/stop by the park/visit Grandma etc”.
Any hesitation on your part gives your child the impression that
you are unsure and worried about leaving them at preschool...show your child
you trust and believe in them!
