Permission for Medical Care
I give consent for my child to receive any medical care necessary in the event that I am unavailable in an emergency.
Fundraising Policy
A fundraising fee of $250 per family is to be paid prior to the start of the school year, with the exception of the Little Friends Playgroup which has a fundraising fee of $50.
Families will be encouraged to participate in a variety of fundraising events offered throughout the year. Participation in fundraising is tracked for each student, and the balance raised will be reimbursed at the end of the school year (up to the amount paid).
Families may choose to opt out of participating in fundraisers; should this option be chosen, the fundraising fee will be non-refundable.
Toilet Training Policy
We require all students to be fully toilet trained before attending nursery school, unless medical issues prevent this (e.g. Little Friends Playgroup).
If occasional assistance is required, your child will be accompanied by a staff member, who will wait outside the unlocked bathroom door to assist your child as needed. If a bathroom accident happens, the staff member will change your child's clothing and help clean them in the bathroom. If this arrangement is unsatisfactory for the parent, they will be notified and may make arrangements to come to the school and clean the child themselves.
Photo Consent
I consent to photos and/or videos of my child being used on the YNSC website and social media pages. We use these photographs to share the educational experiences of our students with other families and the community. Your child's name will not be included in any external publications.
Staff may use their personal cell phones to take the above stated photos and videos. These photos and/or videos will be uploaded to the school's Google drive and removed from the phone as soon as possible. The YNSC prohibits staff members from sharing, posting, or storing any photos or videos of any child in any manner, with the exception of the approved uses listed above.
Please be aware that the YNSC cannot guarantee that other parents will not take and publish photos without the school's or your knowledge (e.g. Christmas concert). However, we do ask that caregivers use discretion when posting any photos or videos that include children other than their own.
Contact Consent
I consent for my name and phone number to be printed on the helper schedule for my child's class, for the purpose of trading shifts with other parents on the helper schedule.
Membership Policy
By enrolling my child, I am applying for membership with the Yorkton Nursery School Co-operative. My membership will be terminated when my child is no longer enrolled.
Withdrawal & Absence Policy
If I wish to withdraw my child, I will inform the school in writing. In order to receive a full refund of all remaining tuition, written notice must be received by the 15th day of the month prior to the withdrawal. No refunds will be made for a child withdrawn in the last month of school.
I understand that if I choose, for any reason, that my child will not attend one or more classes, no refund of fees will be made.
Payment Policy
I will pay a non-refundable registration fee of $35 per child, due at the time of registration.
I will pay my tuition fees in one of two ways:
- September's tuition paid up-front, followed by monthly automatic withdrawals from October to May, which will be set up by completing a preapproved debit form, or
- one lump sum payment for the full year's tuition.
(Monthly payment is not available for the Little Friends Playgroup. Tuition for this class must be paid in full.)
Prior to the first day of classes, the registration fee, the total fundraising fee, and at least one month's tuition must be paid. Your child WILL NOT be allowed to attend class until fees are paid.
There will be a $35 surcharge on all non-sufficient funds (NSF) cheques, to be paid immediately, and a $25 charge per month on all outstanding balances past 30 days. If payment is not made within 60 days, your child will be asked to discontinue classes until the account is cleared.
