Waitlist Policy
To add a child to the wait list, the following steps will be taken:
- The parent/guardian fills out an application for care on our website. There is no cost to submit an application and be added to the list. If a call is made to the office, the parent/guardian is directed to the website to fill out the form. Applications can not be completed in person or on the phone unless required for accessibility.
- Children are prioritized on the list based on the initial date of application, the room the child would initially be entering and the consistency of monthly check ins.
- After the parent/guardian fills out an application, they are required to follow the wait list policy’s next steps (listed below), as they are now officially on the wait list.
- Parents/guardians must send an email monthly to waitlist@wreec.ca to keep their application active. This email must relay that they wish to remain on the wait list and to communicate any changes to their application. Occasionally, the parents/guardian can inquire as to their child’s (approximate) current wait list position (please do not ask each time as things do not change that often). This approximate number will be your position on the external wait list only.
- If a family’s monthly check in (via email) has lapsed for more than 6 consecutive months, their application will be removed from the wait list. If the family contacts the centre after (the initial) application has been removed, the application process must be started from the beginning and the child will be added to the bottom of the list.
- West Ridge Early Education Centre staff members will be given priority spots on the wait list, then the siblings of children already enrolled with us. These families are placed on the Internal Wait List.
- Having your child’s name on the Wait List does not guarantee a spot. Availability depends on several factors within a classroom; birthdates, spaces available, classroom availability etc.
