Admission
Enrollment
Enrolment is conducted on first come basis. Parents can submit application
for September enrolment at any time throughout the year by filling
a pre-registration form available online. You will be notified via
email that your application has been received and informed of the
status of your application. Our regular admission times are during
September and July. Please note that we will be accepting 16 students
between July and September for our JK 3-4 year old program. As many
of our children do continue the program we have limited spaces available
in our JK 4-5 year old program and in our summer program. We still
encourage families to inquire and apply as some spots do become available
due to families changing circumstances.
Application Fee
A $150 non-refundable application fee is required to secure a space
for your child at the centre.
Deposit
Half of the monthly tuition will be required upon registration and
will be applied to the last month of your child's attendance at Smilestones.
Payment Policies
Our program operates all year round, September - August. Families are asked to provide 12 post-dated cheques dated for the
first of every month, which are required to be submitted to Smilestones
one week prior to the start date.
