Registration

Our program is 3 days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) for 2.5 hours. For entry in September, children must be 3 by December 31st. Children who turn 3 before the end of March are welcome to start in January.

Please note that the AM class consists of primarily 3 year olds and the PM class consists of primarily 4 year old children.

For the 2023/2024 school year starting in September, class times will be as follows:

AM classes will run from 9:15am-11:45am
PM classes will run from 12:45pm-3:15pm.

A registration fee of $90 is collected when you register. This fee is non refundable.

To confirm your child/children’s enrolment at ULP, a non-refundable deposit equal to one month’s tuition will be required at the time of registration. This is in addition to the registration fee and will be applied to your June tuition.

Tuition is the same for both the AM and PM programs. For the 2023/2024 school year, tuition is as follows:

Monthly: $323 Tuition + $12 Snack Fee = $335

The cost of enrolment for one school year is $3350 per year.

In previous years, class sizes ranged from 16-18 children. However, due to COVID-19, we will be limiting the class size to 14 children in the AM program and 16 children in the PM program. Tuition will now also include a snack for your child each day, as well as enhanced cleaning protocols. Due to COVID-19, we are not able to accommodate outside snacks.

1. If you are interested in immediate or September enrolment, please add your child’s name to our online Registration Update List. If you are on this list, a parent volunteer will contact you with information about registration dates, availability and to answer questions about our program. Registration starts for the 2023/2024 school year on January 30, 2023.
2. Once we are able to offer you a space in our preschool, you will be given instructions as to how to complete the online Registration Form. In addition to a Registration Form, we will require the above-noted registration fee and tuition deposit to confirm enrolment. If we do not have a space available for your child in your class of choice, you will have the option to be placed on a waitlist.
3. You can pay your Registration Payment via e-transfer to treasury@upperlonsdalepreschool.com (include your child’s full name in the message section) or by cheque. Cheques should be made out to ‘ULP’ or Upper Lonsdale Preschool. Once your payment has been received your child’s spot is confirmed. Submission of post-dated tuition cheques and detailed registration forms will be required before the school year begins.

Our school is a licensed preschool. You may be eligible for a Child Care Subsidy to cover a portion of the preschool tuition. You can visit this website to find information on eligibility and how to apply.

If it becomes necessary for a family to withdraw a child in the school year, the family must provide one month’s written notice on the 1st of the preceding month (i.e. November 1st notice for December 1st withdrawal) to either the Head Teacher or Enrolment parent. All post- dated cheques will be returned. If any child is withdrawn after January 31st, fees for the balance of the year may be forfeited, at the discretion of executive.
