Your child will only be released to an authorized person listed on this form (parent/guardian and/or emergency contact if notified by parent/guardian via phone or email). In case of an emergency or an unforeseen circumstance, please indicate the name, address and phone number of any other person/s who you authorize to pick up your child on your behalf.

The Child Care and Early Years Act requires that we have a photocopy of your child's recent immunization record in our files. Please include a photocopy with this registration form. If you do not have the records, a copy can be obtained from your Doctor.

(Check those that your child has had):

We expect full participation from your child in all aspects of the program to the best of their ability. This includes involvement in program-based activities, both indoor and outdoor gross motor activities, as well as rest time. If your child is unable to participate due to illness, we kindly require that you keep them at home for 24 hours symptom free before returning to program. I acknowledge and agree with the above statement, and I commit to keeping my child at home when they are unwell. I understand that I must arrange for their pickup within one hour if they become ill during the day. Furthermore, parents are required to provide one month's written notice if they wish to change the number of childcare days and is subject to availability. It is important to note that if my child is picked up during the day for any reason including appointments, they are not permitted to return to the program for the remainder of that day.

I understand monthly visitors/trips are apart of the program. If I do not wish for my child to participate, I will still be required to pay for the program fees for that day and will not bring my child to school until 12pm, or when normal programming resumes for that day should programming resume later than 12pm.

From time to time, staff will videotape or photograph the children at Durham Montessori School and Daycare. Both the photos and videos are useful for staff training, community and education awareness purposes. Occasionally, they may appear in the newspapers, our website, Facebook and/or Instagram. Please select ONE of the following choices.

Monthly tuition fees are payable to Durham Montessori School and Daycare before the 1st of every month. If the 1st falls on a weekend, holiday, or school closure, the childcare payment is required by the Friday before. There is a late fee charge of $5.00 per day effective on the 1st day of every month. If the fees are not submitted by the 2nd day of the month, a letter will be issued which states childcare services will be terminated immediately. Childcare fees are subject to increase and policies may change before the child's start date. Durham Montessori School and Care will be accepting payments by E-Transfer, cash, money order, certified cheque, and preauthorized payments. If a parent is late to pick up their child at the school's closing time, a late pick-up fee of $2 per minute applies. An invoice will be sent, and an E-Transfer is to be made within 24 hours. Our program fee will not change while child is registered at Durham Montessori School and Daycare until the following September regardless of age or classroom change.

Parents are required to provide two (2) months written notice of withdrawal during business hours. Failure to provide adequate notice will result in the forfeiture of the deposit paid at the time of registration. Deposits will only be applied to the last month's childcare invoice. Your child's spot is reserved for 1 year from the start date, otherwise, the deposit fee will not be refunded unless amended by the director at registration. The deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE even if parents decide to withdraw their child before the agreed start date on the registration form or the first month with Durham Montessori School and Dare. Parents are required to pay daily program fees for all Statutory Holidays, Winter Break, March Break, Summer Break, and sudden interruption of classroom or other school closures.

I have read and understand Durham Montessori School and Daycare's payment requirements and agree to accept all the school's policies and any additional information or policies added annually in Durham Montessori School and Daycare's Parent Handbook made available to me to print on their website (www.dmsd.ca).

Durham Montessori School and Daycare staff are hereby authorized to administer sunscreen, diaper rash cream, insect repellent, lip balm, body moisturizers and/or other products supplied by their parents/guardians daily or whenever needed.
