Frequently Asked Questions
Can my child attend 5 days per week?
Due to COVID-19 cohort policies, we are unable to offer a 5 Day enrollment at this time
How will I be involved in the co-operative?
As a parent run co-operative, parent involvement is an important element of the nursery school. Each family will attend general meetings, sign up for one or more parent committees as well as participate in fundraising activities.
The board of directors is also parent run and voted in annually.
Failure to complete requirements will result in the cashing of your bond cheque.
Does my child need to be potty trained to attend?
At WBCNS, children do not need to be potty trained to attend. Teachers are more than happy to support parents and children when they are learning to use the toilet.
WBCNS does have an available area for diaper-changing, as per Ministry of Health requirements, and will change a child so long parents have provided all necessary supplies. Please check with teachers periodically to ensure your child has a supply of diapers and wipes available.
Do you accept childcare subsidy?
Subsidized spaces are funded partially or fully by the County of Simcoe and applications for fee subsidy need to be made directly with the County by the parent / guardian. These members will be pre-assigned a committee duty by the registrar and are actively involved in all areas of the Nursery School at no additional cost to them.
What holidays are you closed for?
As a kindergarten readiness program, WBCNS follows the SCDSB school year calendar for all holidays, Christmas break, March break, and summer break.
Are December and March's tuition less as there are holidays during those months?
As a registered charity, WBCNS aims to keep programming as affordable as possible while covering all costs. Tuition is calculated as an annual cost broken into more manageable monthly payments. As such, all months in attendance are the same cost.
