Extended Care
The Comox Valley Waldorf School offers an Extended Care program to children in our Preschool program only. We know it is preferable for children to go home with their parents after their regular classes but when this is not possible, we believe it is best to provide extended care in an environment already familiar to the children.
Our Extended Care program runs 4 days a week, Monday - Thursday from 1pm - 3pm
Parents are responsible for providing a nutritious late afternoon snack (“mousey snack” of dried fruit and nuts provided by the program), dressing their child in appropriate clothing for the weather, and signing out their child at pick-up. Please note that we have a no peanut policy in place at our school.
Admission
The Extended Care program is currently only available to families already registered in our Preschool at the Comox Valley Waldorf School.
Program Registration
Our Extended Care program does not offer drop-in. Parents wanting Extended Care for their children will need to register at the beginning of the school year and Extended Care fees will be withdrawn monthly along with their tuition.
The Extended Care program is licensed for a maximum of 8 children per day and spaces are available on a first come first served basis.
Withdrawal Policy
Written notice must be given to the school 2 weeks in advance if parents plan to withdraw their children from the Extended Care program.
