Payments:
- Payments due at the beginning of every month
- There is NO charge for public holidays or days closed - payment is only for the days the child attends.
- 5 sick days a calendar year are allowed (at NO charge) - but must charge for any excess days on top of that as the spot is reserved
- 10 vacation days / un-attendance days a calendar year are allowed (at NO charge) - but must charge for any excess days on top of that as the spot is reserved - NOTE that notice is needed for days off
- Above payment policy is unique as most daycares will charge monthly regardless of holidays/or if the child does not attend.
Admission conditions
Will not accept children with severe nut allergies as it is not a completely nut-free house.
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.
