 Admission Requirements

Funtastic Learning Centre is licensed to enroll children from the ages of 2.5 to 4 years of age, up to a maximum of 11 students per day. Early admission is offered to current families first. The remaining spots are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Upon deciding that you would like to register your child at our centre, the following is a list of items that must accompany each completed enrolment application form. 

1. Ten post-dated cheques for the school year are dated the first of each month (Sept 1- June 1). Cheques can be made payable to Funtastic Learning Centre
2. A non-refundable application fee of $25 Registration Fee (per child), as well as a Security Deposit, of $200  (per child), is required. If your child is withdrawn from the daycare, the deposit fee will be returned on the last day of the attendance. Failure to provide the one-month (30 days) notice, of the deposit will not refund.
3. A copy of the child’s health card.
4. Copies of documentation regarding physical or medical conditions, including detailed instructions on administering any medication required.
5. A copy of the child’s immunization record.
6. The Application Form must be complete and signed. Upon completing all the above-mentioned items, please get in touch with our centre for a registration appointment. 

In the best interest of the children and staff at our program, children who show visible signs of illness including, but not limited to; severe coughing, constant/severe runny nose or sneezing, fever, diarrhea or vomiting, unusual spots, rashes, itching, or excessive lethargy, should not be at the center. Children who are not well enough to fully participate in all aspects and activities (including outdoor play) of a regular school day should not be sent to the center. 

Over-the-counter medications such as cough syrup and Tylenol will not be administered. If a child is sick to the extent that he/she requires such medication, they are deemed too ill to be at the center. 

Children must be symptom-free for 24 hours without medication before returning to the center.

The staff reserves the right to refuse entry to the school if a child appears ill upon arrival. If a child becomes ill during the day, the child will be separated from the other children and the symptoms noted in the child’s records, and a daily logbook. Parents will be contacted to pick up the child as soon as possible. If it is not possible for the parent to take the child home immediately, the emergency contact will be called. Should this option not be available either, and where it appears that the child requires immediate medical attention, emergency services will be called.
