the top questions we get asked
We try to anticipate questions you might have about our Playschool and provide the answers below.
If you need additional information please Contact Us.
We no longer require a certain amount of hours per year and now offer two ways to complete your volunteer commitment for the year: an out-of-class volunteer position or acting as a parent volunteer on the Board of Directors. You must fulfill the duties involved in your role for the year in order to keep your Volunteer Bond. You may inquire at any time about the volunteer board positions and assignment of the remaining out-of-class volunteer positions occurs at the AGM in September.
There are two ways to fill you volunteer hours- both on our Board of Directors and one of our out-of-class volunteer positions. 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 held in September. The Board Member positions require a 1 year commitment (July-June). Contact the volunteer coordinator to find out which positions are available.
Due to licensing regulations the playschool can not have older or younger siblings in the class.
Children are required to bring a backpack with a complete change of clothing (that will stay at the Playschool in the event of an accident), as well as a healthy snack and water. Indoor shoes that they leave at school are also required.
Registration is held during the spring every year for the following school year beginning in September. Ads are posted around town and on social media outlets starting in January announcing the date and time we open online registration to the public. Spaces are given on a first come/first serve basis and waitlist are available if your first class choice is full.
A community membership is required to participate in prorgrams that operate within the CRCA building, and this includes the playschool. The memberships are purchased through the Rec Centre and are valid starting in July and ending in June of the following year. Vist the website at chestermerecrca.com.
