6. Child Information, Individual Needs and Program Limitations
The Parent/Guardian agrees to provide the Program with complete and accurate information regarding the child’s individual needs, including allergies, medical conditions, behavioural needs, and any other information that may require special care, attention, supervision, or accommodation.
The Program cannot be responsible for an injury, illness, or other incident resulting from the Parent/Guardian’s failure to provide complete and accurate information regarding the child.
The Program reserves the right to decline admission or continued attendance when, based on the information available to the Program, a child’s cognitive, emotional, physical, medical, or behavioural needs cannot reasonably be supported within the Program’s regular staffing model and available resources.
Golden Rule Programs does not provide additional one-to-one staffing or specialized supports and does not qualify for or provide Educational Assistant (EA) grants or one-to-one staffing supports.
The Program is generally unable to accommodate children who require individual classroom support or one-to-one assistance in order to participate safely and successfully.
Our goal is always to meet each child’s basic needs and provide a safe, positive environment. However, we recognize that our programs may not be suitable for every child and that there are limitations to the level of individualized support we can provide.
The safety, health, and well-being of all children entrusted to our care must be maintained. If a child requires one-to-one staffing or supports beyond what can reasonably be provided within our regular staffing model in order to participate safely, or if the child’s needs significantly interfere with the Program’s ability to safely supervise the other children, we may be unable to provide care.
Parents/Guardians who have questions regarding their child’s individual circumstances are encouraged to contact the Program before registering or paying the $50.00 registration fee so that we can discuss whether our Program is able to meet the child’s needs.

The Program closes at 6:00 p.m.
A $30.00 late fee per half hour, or portion thereof, will be charged for any child picked up after 6:00 p.m.
Program staff will attempt to contact the Parent/Guardian and the other emergency/authorized contacts listed on the registration form to arrange immediate pick-up.
If no contact has been made with a Parent/Guardian or listed contact by 6:30 p.m., the Program will follow its established procedures for ensuring the child’s safety and arranging appropriate assistance.
If you know you are going to be late, you must text the school phone for your location as soon as possible.
Habitual late pick-up may result in the child no longer being permitted to attend the Program.
8. Independent Dismissal
The Parent/Guardian agrees to advise the Program in writing or by text if the child is permitted to leave the Program’s premises without a Parent/Guardian or other authorized adult, including the specific time the child is to be dismissed.
Once the child has left the Program’s premises at the time and in the manner authorized by the Parent/Guardian, the Program is no longer responsible for the child.
9. Risk and Liability
