There are many different ways to complete the hours required.  There are volunteer positions in the classroom and out.  Many positions can be completed in the evenings or on weekends such as toy cleaner or play dough maker.  These positions are available to sign up for at the Annual General Meeting at the start of the school year.

When can I register my child for playschool?

Registration is  held every February for the following school year beginning in September.  We post ads in the Anchor and the Newsy Neighbor starting in January announcing the date.  Registration packages may be picked up starting on a specified date and then returned completed on a different specified date.  Spaces are given on a first come/first serve basis so it is good to get your package in as soon as possible.  We do have waiting lists if someone misses the registration with registration packages available for pick up at the rec centre office.
