Waitlist Policy

There is no fee to place your name on our wait list.  Once a formal request has been made to be placed on the wait list (by filling out the form located on our website) parents will receive a confirmation by email.

It is the parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to contact Blossoming Minds Learning Centre Inc. to confirm their spot on the wait list every 6 months.  This MUST be done by email. If this is not done, your name will be removed from the list.

Priority spots are determined based on:

Full-time enrolled children- openings in rooms are first reserved for movement between rooms of children presently enrolled.

Once all children have been moved between rooms, openings are offered in the following order:

          1. Siblings of already enrolled children have priority

          2. Catchment Area- children who will be attending our partnered schools for Before and After school care have preference for openings 

             (Earl Haig and Earl Beatty)

          3. Registration date.

(For the Before and After School Program, priority will be given to currently enrolled students who have siblings currently enrolled at Blossoming Minds.)

We have one master wait list, which goes by order of your registration date.  When we have openings, we go down our list in order and look for a match for the opening. We look for date of birth of child and our prospective openings for a match – we then look to see the date you requested.  If the date is a fairly close match, we will offer you the placement even if it is sooner or later than you requested (sooner by approximately a month, later by age suitability). 

If the placement is for the month you request and you turn down the placement, we will remove your name from the list. 

We do require a prompt response, so making sure your phone and email info is up-to-date is crucial, as people do register on many wait lists. If we cannot reach you, we will remove your name from the list.

To ascertain your child’s place on the waitlist, simply email us and we will be happy to give you the required information. The wait list will be made available to those affected by it while maintaining the confidentiality and privacy of others on the list.

A non-refundable deposit of two full months’ fees (based on the posted CWELCC fees) is needed to secure your spot once a date for enrollment has been offered. The deposit is non-refundable, but will only be used for the last 2 months of fees, when notice of two calendar months, prior to the first of the month, has been given. Payment of the deposit indicates your acceptance of our deposit policy.  

In the case of withdrawal from the program, we ask for written notice of two calendar months to be given, prior to the first of the month.

In the case a child is demitted for reasons outlined in our policies, the deposit will not be refunded.
