Parents are required to drop off and pick up students as indicated on their registration form. We are unable to guarantee adjusting drop off and pick up times however, if provided with adequate notice we will always try out best to accommodate depending on space availability and staffing.
Please note, depending on the child’s age and transition into the program teachers will advise a gradual entry system for the first 2-3 weeks of enrollment. Gradual entry help children adjust, creates a sense of trust and prevents the children from a negative first experience at school. A gradual entry schedule will be shared with you prior to your first day.
