Registration Fee
A one-time non-refundable administration fee of $50.00, for each child, must be submitted with the completed application. Once your child is withdrawn from the program and re-admit at another date, we consider that as new enrollment. The registration fee will be applied.

Security Deposit
There is a $200.00 refundable security deposit per child required at the time of enrolment.  This amount may be applied to the last month’s fee, providing that the appropriate thirty days written notice is given. 

Fees
The monthly fee is subject to change on an annual basis and a current fee schedule is available from the Executive Director.  This fee is not discounted due to a child’s holidays, absence or illness. Fees must be paid on the first of the month, or as agreed to upon time of registration by the 6^th of each month.  Post-dated cheques are recommended.

Late Fees
Fees paid after the 7^th day of the month, are subject to a $25.00 late fee charge. 

NSF Cheques
In the event that a cheque is returned due to insufficient funds, the parent will be responsible to pay a replacement fee of $40.00 to Hillmount Child Care Centre.

Late Pick-up Fee
Late Fees are incurred when your child is at the centre after 6:00 pm, according to the Centre’s clock, and parents arriving after this time will be charged $1.00 per minute. This will be payable directly to the Centre Staff on duty. After three late offences a $2.00 per minute fee will be charged for the remainder of the school year (September to August). Payment must be made within 24 hours.  Failure to do so will result in an additional $10.00 per day added to the late fee.

Prior to the date of admission, a medical form (including up to date immunization forms) must be completed and signed along with a registration/information form and signed policies.  According to Public Health regulations, failure to provide medical information upon enrolment is just cause to withhold admission. In addition to signing a Parent Contract, each parent must sign the following policies listed in the registration package.  All Information must be completed prior to admission including emergency and contact information for our files.

At the time of registration, the parent must submit the following cheques for the centre fees:

• First month’s cheque is dated the first day of the month the child is starting. Please see parent fee attachment
• Registration fee (non-refundable) dated for the date of registration package returned.
• Refundable Deposit cheque dated for the date of registration package returned.
• The remaining post-dated cheques for the school year.

Hillmount Childcare Centre requires parents to provide the following information when registering on the wait list. Parent(s) names(s), Home Address, Child’s Name, Child’s DOB, intended start date and Program request, Contact number(s), Email address, Subsidy info, if applicable. There is no charge to be placed on the wait list and no obligation to enroll.

Being on the wait list does not guarantee that a child will be offered a spot within our program.

Parents may contact the Executive Director at any time to inquire about their child's wait list status and will be told what number their child is and their chances of admission. The waiting list will be made available in a manner that maintains the privacy and confidentiality of the children and family listed on it.

• Names on the wait list are accepted until the child receives a space or the parent requests to be removed from the list. New names will be added to the wait list as they are received.

• Parents will be contacted when space becomes available according to their requests on the waiting list card.
• Children’s sequence on the wait list may change according to our Registration, Enrolment Policy, priority sequence and child’s age. Children may be refused enrolment if they are not eligible.
• For Kindergarten and School Age groups, proof of registration to the school must be received before a child will be enrolled in the centre as priority is given to those children attending this school. Once all children on the wait list have been accepted, children from the community may be considered ONLY if the school is accepting them for registration or they can arrive on a bus from another location.
• Families registered on the wait list will remain on the wait list until the child is no longer eligible for enrollment or parents has requested to be removed from the wait list.

Our programs offer a varied menu of nutritional snacks (morning and afternoon) and lunches daily. Our lunches are catered and follow Canada’s Food Guide for Healthy eating. Weekly menus are posted in the Centre.

If your children have food allergies or medical conditions, please inform your child’s teacher so that accommodations can be made.

NOTE:  Hillmount Childcare centre is a PEANUT FREE Childcare!  This policy is in place to help keep the environment safe for those children, parents and/or staff who have life-threatening allergies.
