How long will it take to get a spot?
We do have a significant wait list for our very popular program. In some cases it can take 2 or more years to receive an offer, however many occur sooner.
We review our wait listed families needs regularly and prioritize new families according to a number of established criteria. In some specialized cases a space could come available quickly, but in most cases space is offered starting June through September when children graduate to go to Kindergarten.
Do You offer Part-Time spaces?
AT THIS TIME WE ARE OFFERING ONLY FULL-TIME 5-DAY PLACEMENTS. Reduction in care and part-time will only be offered in very special circumstances to be pre-approved by our Executive Director.
What are the program hours and location?
We are located at a purpose-build modern child care facility, attached to the Waterdown District High School at 215 Parkside Drive, with it's own entrance, kitchen, green-scaped play area and security features. Program hours are now 7:30am to 5:30pm.
How do I find out more details?
If you have not already, please do review our Current ELCC Parent Handbook and Policies (opens in a new tab or window)
Can I come for a Centre Tour?
We normally ask new families to come tour our facility first with their child once a space is offered (and will arrange a partial play day visit for new registrants). We can only arrange tours otherwise by calling our Centre to schedule in advance.
We have a video tour of our child care centre here (opens in a new window).
