Children are admitted to KAFRC for any age group generally on a first-come, first- served basis. Priority will be given to full-time child care and to siblings of children already in the program. Part-time and occasional care is available when space permits. Admission depends on the KAFRC's ability to meet the child's needs and the needs of the children already enrolled in the program. A non-refundable registration fee of $15.00 is required when registering.

An interview with the Supervisor will be scheduled prior to enrolment so that you and your child may familiarize yourselves with the KAFRC, review our policies and procedures, ask questions and complete the enrolment forms.

• the program does not meet the needs of the child;
• the child is unable to function in a group setting;
• the child is beyond program age;
• a parent does not comply with the policies of KAFRC; and.
• fees remain outstanding for two weeks or more.

KAFRC must be informed whenever a person other than the parents will be picking up their child. The teachers will not release the child without this notification.

A late penalty of $1.00/minute will be charged to any parent picking up their child after hours. We strongly encourage you try to ensure an alternate person is available to pick up your child when you are not able.

For children attending school, if your child leaves school during the day and will not be attending the after school program, PLEASE let the KAFRC staff know immediately as it is not the school's responsibility to keep us informed.

Parents can come on our field trips, join us for lunch or contribute their talents and skills to the program. Parental involvement serves to enhance the program.

Upon enrolment, parents are asked to provide a registration fee of $15.00. Monthly fees are required on the first day of each month.

To determine if a parent qualifies for a subsidy, an appointment for assessment with the United Counties Children's Services Department must be made by contacting the Intake Worker at 1-800-267-8146.
