Matthew John Early Learning Centre of Toronto has an “OPEN DOOR” policy for all parents. Parents are always welcome to visit the Centre at any time or to call the child’s educator or the supervisor. When in doubt ask the staff how you can help.
We offer many opportunities for parents to become meaningful participants in the program. We welcome mothers, fathers, and other significant people in children’s lives to be included in the partnership with our Centre. Close collaboration among parents/guardians, children and staff will help enrich the children’s early education experiences.
Parent Handbook:
We are in the process of updating some policies and procedures in our Parent Handbook. Please watch for this new book and in the meantime you can access our older version here: Download Parent Handbook (PDF)
Late Fee Policy (per child):
- $2/min. for the first 5 min. after 6 p.m.
- $5/min. after 6:05 p.m.
Withdrawal Policy:
Effective January 1st, 2020, in order to withdrawal a child from the full- or part-time program, the parent/legal guardian will be required to provide two full calendar months’ notice of withdrawal (e.g. notice given on May 16th will allow the child to withdraw from the program as of August 1st). Please note that, in the event a parent/legal guardian choses to withdraw a child sooner than the two months’ notice, the parent/legal guardian will nonetheless be required to pay the child’s daycare fees for the duration of the two months’ notice period.
