Enrollment Policy

Waitlist
Waitlist Details
To register on the waitlist please follow the steps listed below.
Children must be at least 2 years old to register on the waitlist. Applications received for children younger than this will not be accepted and fees will not be refunded.
It is difficult to predict the amount of time your child will be on the waitlist but the majority of spaces become available between June and September of each year as children who are leaving for Kindergarten move out of our programs. Your position in the waitlist might change because of enrollment policies (see above for details).
Our waitlists, like other childcare centres, are based on a combination of time in queue and a priority list. The final waitlist is determined about one month before an expected start date.
Due to the changing nature of waitlists and the overwhelming amount of inquiries, we are unable to respond to any waitlist status requests.
*it is the family’s responsibility to make sure their annual membership is up-to-date.

The Collective
A collective is a group of entities that share or are motivated by at least one common issue or interest, or work together to achieve a common objective.
We are a group of educators, children, families and community members that value childhood and the significance and importance of early learning. The Collective Tennyson Childcare Centre is a place where individuals can share their skills, strengths and knowledge to work together to create meaningful experiences for children. Our educators will work together and across the different programs creating the opportunity to connect with each other, and all children and families. Families will feel connected to all programs as well, which will support them as their child continually grows and moves between programs. Community members are invited in to participate in the form of volunteerism, and skill or knowledge sharing. It is a centre that provides high quality learning opportunities for children in our care, and a place where families and community can connect with one another.
