How and when can I put my child on the waitlist?
We accept waitlist registrations up to one year prior to the child’s anticipated start date. You will only be contacted to confirm your addition to the waitlist and then again when a space is available. To put your child’s name on the waitlist, please confirm registration in Quilchena Elementary school and email spgoutofschoolcare@gmail.com

What is a member and what is a non-member?
Members are families who pay a program deposit and register their children for care during the course of the school-year. To retain membership status from one school year to the next, a minimum two weeks of summer registration is required.
Non-members are families who register their children only for school break programs.

How and when can I cancel my registration?
One full month’s written notice is required for all changes to registration (cancellations and requests to decrease care). For example, if you would like to decrease or terminate child care effective May 1st, notice of this change or termination must be received on or before March 31st. If the required notice is not given, the monthly fee must be paid in lieu of notice. An email to spgoutofschoolcare@gmail.com
is considered written notice.

Can I split a registration space amongst my children?
OK. Imagine five children sharing every full time spot. So, no. But we have so many part-time options I’m sure something could work for you.

What should I send with my child for the summer program?
No flip flops please 🙂 For more details please see our Points for Parents
