child Care frequently asked questions
+ How do I get a space in your Child Care program?
Please fill out our waitlist application and we will call you when there is a space available. For Early Learning Centre applicants, we will arrange a tour of the centre and parents must call the office to confirm their interest after the tour. No tour is required for After School Care registration. We will send registration forms and a $100 refundable deposit must be paid to confirm the space.
+ How long after I submit my paperwork until my child can start?
Child care starts are typically at the beginning of the next month, although a mid- month start can be arranged. Registration packages must be completed in full to start.
+ How much does your program cost?
Please call the office for our fees at 250-563-7410.
+ I cannot afford Child Care, what support do you offer?
We are enrolled in the Child Care Fee Reduction Program and accept the Affordable Child Care Benefit subsidy.
