School Age Fees

A fee agreement for each child must be completed in the office.

One month's written notice is required when you withdraw your child from school-age programs.

We accept cash, cheques (payable to Spare Time) and bank e-transfers.

Administration fee is a one-time $50 non-refundable fee to register.

School-age child care fees are consistent every month even though there are a varying amount of attendance days. The monthly fees include Before and After School programs, early dismissal school days and teacher professional days – see “included” list below. The fees do not include 13 full days when DLG school is not in session – see “not included” list below. The monthly fees include breakfast (until 8:30 am) and afternoon snack. The full day fee also includes lunch.
