Initial Enrollment
A non-refundable fee of $100.00 will be charged at time of enrollment to guarantee your child a place at Carousel Child Care Centre Inc.
The fee goes towards registration, an
earthquake kit and extra activities.
Monthly Payment
The monthly fee is to be paid the last Friday of the preceding month.
If we do not receive your fees by the 7th of the month there will be an extra charge of $25 a week, Unless a different arrangement of payment is agreed upon in this parent package.
Postdated cheques and email money transfers are welcome. If your cheque bounces, there will be a processing fee of $25.00.
We require payment for your child regardless of the number of days your child attends daycare; sick days and holidays must still be paid for in order to hold the spot for your child.
If a Child’s fees and/or subsidy are behind by one monthyour child will not be allowed to attend until they are paid in full.
If your spot happens to be filled with another child before you pay, your spot is unfortunately gone.
We are currently enrolled in the CCFRI inititive, which covers $540/fulltime month for 3-5yo and $900/fulltime month for 30-36mo.
Each March, we reapply to be part of the following year's initiative.
If, for whatever reason our application is not approved by April 1st, or we are denied, then the parent will be responsible for the full months fees.
If in the case of a late approval, the parent would pay all of April's fees (and any following months), and would then have the initiative applied to their following months as back pay once it's received by Carousel.
Trial Period
Each new child is accepted on a one-month probationary period.
Carousel reserves the right to refuse care with immediate dismissal.
If a child demonstrates an inability to participate in the regular daily program, or has behaviour problems that are beyond our ability to handle and it is affecting other children or staff’s safety, we may have to ask your family to leave.
Parents also have the right to terminate enrollment during this trial period.
Late Pick Up
If you are late picking up your child there is a charge of $15.00 every 15 minutes (per child). If a guardian has not picked up a child or called by closing, we will try to contact the family and then the alternative persons form the authorization forms.
If that person is unavailable and the parent has not contacted the caregiver within 30 minutes of closing, we are required to phone Ministry of Children and Families.
