REGISTRATION/ADMISSION POLICYA registration form must be completed and returned before your child can
attend the centre. An orientation of routines and tour of the centre will be conducted
by the Director. We encourage parents to visit the centre with their child/ren for
an appropriate period of time, i.e. an hour or so, prior to starting a full-time
attendance at the centre. Parents and child/ren are introduced to their teachers
and you and your child can become familiar with their environment.
The centre is open to any child whose individual needs and family needs can be met
through our program. Spaces in the centre are filled from a waiting list of eligible
children. Spaces are not kept for children leaving the centre for summer or extended
periods of time during the year. Children names may be re-placed on the waiting
list for re-entry after they have been away for extended periods of time during
the year. The centre requires a month notice prior to withdraw a child from the
centre. Each parent is required to provide a proof of immunization and other information
related to the health of the child such as known allergies and this in writing.
FEES
A $ 100.00 pre-registration fee will be paid upon commencement at the centre.Part-time
fees are payable according to the same terms and conditions as full-time fees. Additional
used days reserved on a monthly basis will charged according to current per diem
fee schedule and will be payable the last day of the month in which they were used.
Fees are payable one month in advance, by the 1st day of each month by 5:30pm at
the latest. Cheques, money orders or cash are accepted. A subsidy is available from
the Provincial Government to assist eligible parents in payment of fees. Requests
for subsidization are forwarded to the Department of Children Services.
The centre has the right to refuse service to your child if payments are in arrears
by more than 5 business days.
*Parents who have registered their child/ren at the centre but are uncertain of
their work schedule are required to pay before dropping their child off for the
day. We are unable to accommodate you for the day if payment has not been received.
*Parents who have selected certain days of the month on a regular basis i.e. every
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, will be charged for those days. Payment is due for
those days on the FIRST day attended in the month. We can not give refund or credit
for those days committed and not used.

then be replaced in cash, certified cheque or money order.
*An official tax receipt will be immediately issued whenever parents use cash to

SUBSIDY
Funding for daycares is the responsibility of Alberta Family and Social Services.
Subsidies may be awarded after an assessment of family income and conditions are
made.
Application can be made directly on-line at http://www.child.gov.ab.ca/. A response should be
almost immediate.
You may also go directly to the social services office (7th Floor, 9942-108 street,
Edmonton) where an intake officer will make an immediate assessment.
If you are applying for subsidy, you are required to pay the parent portion of your
child‘s fees prior to your child attending centre. You will then have 3 days to
submit approval for subsidy. Should you be unable to provide written confirmation
of subsidy within that time frame, your child/ren will not be able to continue attending.
It is parent’s responsibility to arrange for subsidy and renew subsidy application
before it expires. If your subsidy expires, you will be charged the full monthly
fee due until your subsidy has been reinstated. You will be credited the following
month(s) for any over payment.
Please note: To qualify for full time subsidy, your child/ren must attend the centre
for a minimum of 100 hours per month for children in Daycare.
