ENROLLMENT NOTICE: Due to increased demand, we will be cancelling our Spring open house June 10th and 11th, as we will only have three spaces available for September 2023, which are all likely to be filled by the waitlist. With our current waitlist, we are expected to be full until September 2024. We're sorry for the inconvenience, and wish you the best of luck in your search for childcare.
Waitlist applications will only be accepted through email to [email protected]. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE CENTRE TO CHECK AVAILABILITY, we are at capacity and answering the phone takes time away from the kiddos who are here. Waitlist requests sent to facebook or left on the voicemail will not be accepted.
Again, due to the increased demand, we will be adapting our policy to allow expecting parents to add their child. For this method, please email [email protected] initially when expecting, and then email again to the same thread when your child is born and you have the name and birthdate. If you complete this process, then the child's waitlist entry will be added at that point but with the entry date of the first email.
The CWELCCA has created an overwhelming demand for spaces, so while we understand it is disappointing and frustrating for parents, please know that we will continue to do our best to ensure equitable access to childcare whenever spaces do come available. As a small centre (26 spaces total), we have very few openings per year, so at the current size of the waitlist, it is likely that most people will not receive a space at our centre by the time their child goes to kindergarten. We recommend continuing your search, and adding your child to as many local waitlists as possible, particularly at larger centres who may have a higher turnover..
Thank you so much for your understanding and patience as we adapt to the demand of this new model of affordable childcare.
Sincerely, the Jack and Jill team
