What is the registration process?

To begin the admission process, you are asked to complete the Expression of Interest form. Once submitted, the centre will contact you if a space is available.

Once a space has been confirmed for your child, you will be invited to tour the centre, and meet the executive team and you will be required to pay the registration fee (may vary depending on the location) to secure your space. 

What is the payment process?

We invoice our clients biweekly for the next 2 weeks of childcare services. Payments are automatically withdrawn from your bank account (we will ask you for these details during the registration process) every second Friday. Upon registration, our team will let you know when your payment will be withdrawn.

I can’t afford childcare but have to go back to work. What are my options?

The provincial government offers a program and administers the subsidy process. To inquire about your eligibility and/or apply, visit: https://www.nbed.nb.ca/parentportal/en/
