ADMISSION
An interview will be arranged for interested parents to answer questions, familiarize themselves and their children with the Centre to complete the admission forms prior to registration (Copy available pdf – format under admission tab).
Parents are always welcome to drop in at the Child Care Centre to visit with their child, but it is especially important during the first few weeks of attendance. Parents are encouraged to stay with their child for a time at the beginning of each day in order to reassure him/her and to minimize uncertainty until you and your child become more comfortable.
Our Centre requires three visits with the child. The parent or guardian will need to stay with the child during the first and second visit. On the third visit, the child can remain in the classroom without the parent or guardian.
Typically after the third visit, your child will become familiar with the various daily routines and may also develop new peer friendships making “drop off” a little less stressful.
For enrollment, please contact the Mattawa Child Care Centre at 1 (705) 744-5366.
The Mattawa Child Care Centre is a Registered Charity. Donations towards Our Programs are always welcome and Tax Receipts will be issued.
