$10 a Day Centre
Our London and North River locations are currently part of the provincial $10/day program. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee $10/day rates beyond March 2025 (London) and March 2026 (North River) which is when funding contracts are renewed. If our contract is not renewed, fees will shift to regular rates in April 2025. Regular and $10/day rates are listed on the linked fee sheet.
Parent Handbook
Our parent handbook can be found here, and will be able to answer most of your questions about the program and policies.
Health and Wellness Policy
Guidelines here for when to stay home if your child is feeling sick, and symptoms that might warrant a parent pick-up. Alderwood has a strict illness and attendance policy. Please make sure that this proactive policy will be a fit with your work commitments prior to accepting enrollment at Alderwood.
Parent Participation
We are a parent participation daycare program, which means that all families contribute to the operational demands of the program by volunteering, including a mandatory volunteer shift once per month (3 hours). The minimum Parent Participation (3h/1 shift per month) is a non-negotiable part of our program.
