Transition & Communication

Adjustment Period

The first two weeks of care serve as an adjustment period. During this time, I will keep parents informed about how their child is settling in.

Parental Involvement

Parents are always welcome to visit. Please message in advance to ensure it’s a good time for a visit.

Medication Policy

No medication will be administered without written parental permission. Prescription medications must:

  • Be in the original container

  • Include child’s name, medication name, doctor’s name, pharmacy info, and dosage instructions

  • Be accompanied by a signed permission slip

Holidays & Closures

Statutory Holidays

The daycare is closed on all Statutory Holidays. Regular fees still apply if these fall on your child’s scheduled day. Examples include: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve & Day, Victoria Day, Labour Day, Canada Day, Thanksgiving, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Civic Holiday, Family Day.

Sick Days

If your child is unwell, staying home helps prevent the spread of illness. If I become ill (rarely), the daycare will close and regular fees still apply if it falls on a scheduled care day.

Program Withdrawal & Termination

Withdrawal Notice

A minimum of two weeks’ written notice is required by either party to terminate childcare. If notice is not provided, parents are responsible for two weeks’ fees, regardless of attendance.

Immediate Termination

Care may be terminated immediately for reasons including (but not limited to):

  • Non-compliance with daycare policies or contract

  • Repeated late or missed payments

  • Ongoing harmful or disruptive behavior

  • Failure to communicate absences (5 consecutive days)
