Waitlist

How the Waitlist Works

Where the maximum capacity of a program has been reached and spaces are unavailable for new children to be enrolled, children can be added to the waitlist.

The Supervisor will receive parental requests to place a child on a waiting list through the online application form or via an email.
The Supervisor will place a child on the waiting list in chronological order, based on the date and time that the request was received.
Priority will be given to siblings of children currently enrolled in care.
Parents of children on the waiting list will be notified via email when a space has become available in their requested program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at childcare@bumblebeegarden.ca if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What happens when a space becomes available?

When a space becomes available, the Supervisor reviews the waitlist and identifies the next eligible child.

The parent is notified by phone or email of the start date
The parent is given 48 hours in which to accept or refuse the space
If a parent does not respond in the time frame, the space will be offered to the next parent on the waitlist, but they will remain in the same position on the waitlist.
We will continue to offer the space to the next eligible child until the space is accepted.

What happens if I turn down a placement when it is offered?

If you decide not to accept the placement, you will remain in the same position on the waitlist. If you no longer need a child care placement, please let us know so we can remove your child from our waitlist.

Once my child is in a program, am I guaranteed a child care placement in the next age group?

Yes. Once a child enters the school they will transition throughout the programs unless a parent requests otherwise. Please note that movement is based on the child's age and availability.
