In admission of my child(ren)
to Glengarry Child Care Society, I

I have received a copy of the Parent Policy Manual and understand that it is my responsibility to review its contents and direct any questions or concerns to the Executive Director or the Program Supervisor
Fee Schedule - Effective January 1, 2022 (The fulltime fee includes the Affordability Grant)
A non-refundable registration fee of $50.00 must be paid before a space is confirmed. Once the registration fee has been paid, it will not be refunded under any circumstances.
Monthly fees are paid by PAD (Pre-Authorized Debit) only. Withdrawal dates are the last business day of the previous month or the 21st of the current month. There will be no refunds given for absent days from the program due to Statutory Holidays, personal vacation or illness.
A refundable space deposit is required at the time of registration as per the table below. Space deposits are refunded or applied to the final month of care, providing adequate notice of termination is given. Space deposits will be refunded within 1 month after the final day of care. The space deposit can be paid in installments of no less than $50.00/month by signing a payment agreement
In the case of extended absences of more than 30 days, the full unsubsidized monthly fee must be paid in advance in order to retain the child’s space. The affordability grant and subsidy will not be paid if the child does not have attendance hours. If payment is not received prior to commencement of the leave, the child’s space will be terminated and filled with a family from the waiting list.
One month’s written notice is required when terminating care. Notice can only be given on the 1st business day of the month. If less than one month’s written notice is given, the space deposit will be retained by the Society.
Parent’s arriving after 6:00 p.m. will be charged a late pick up fee of $25.00 for the first 10 minutes and $1.00/subsequent minute after 6:00 p.m.. The Eduators will make every effort to contact the parents and/or emergency contacts. If contact cannot be made by 8:00 p.m., the Crisis Line will be contacted and the child will be placed in their care.
Educators must be made aware when the children are dropped off and picked up from the centre. The parent must ensure that they contact an Educator when dropping off and picking up their child.
