Admission conditions
Currently entertaining two part-time positions and one full-time position. All one year olds. This age group (should all positions be accepted), will shortly be closed. Two spots will remain for children between two and four years of age.
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
