Program details

All the practical information, in one place.

Everything you need to know about days, hours, tuition and enrolment for the January–June 2027 term.

Ages: Children approximately 4–7 years old, with programming for Kindergarten and Grade 1 learners.
Location: Bloomfield, Prince Edward County, Ontario.
Days offered: Tuesday first, Thursday second, and Monday if there is sufficient interest.
Attendance: Families may enrol for one, two or three days per week, subject to availability.
Hours: 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. After-school programming may be available for an additional fee, if needed.
Class size: A maximum of five children attending on any given day.
Learning approach: Ontario curriculum foundations explored through play-based inquiry, intentional instruction and hands-on learning, through an inclusive and equitable lens. The program is independent and is not affiliated with a school board or government education program.
Outdoor learning: Daily, in all seasons, extreme weather conditions permitting.
Calendar: The program follows a school-year rhythm, with closures for most major Ontario school holidays. Exact dates and closures will be confirmed with families prior to enrolment.
Lunch: Families provide a packed lunch and water bottle. Supplementary drinking water and healthy vegan snacks can be made available so children feel energized and ready to grow.
What to wear: Comfortable clothing and footwear suited to the weather and season. What some call "bad weather" can offer wonderful opportunities to learn and explore, though we'll stay inside during extreme weather if necessary. Indoor shoes are encouraged, but not mandatory.
Visits: Families are welcome to arrange a visit in advance to explore the indoor and outdoor spaces, meet the educator, and discuss whether the program may be a good fit.

Payment deadline

Full-term tuition is due before January 1, 2027.

I understand that paying for a full term upfront may not be financially accessible for every family. If a multi-instalment payment arrangement would make enrolment more manageable, please reach out. I'm happy to discuss a payment contract that better suits your family's circumstances.

Absences and make-up days

Your child's place is reserved for their agreed-upon days, so tuition remains payable if they are sick or unable to attend.

I understand that unexpected absences happen, and I'll do my best to offer an alternative day within the same term whenever possible.

Make-up days depend on availability, as I can accommodate no more than five children per day. I'll work with you to explore possible options, but a make-up day cannot be guaranteed.

Withdrawal and refunds

If a family withdraws from the program before the end of the term, 70% of the tuition attributable to the remaining scheduled program days will be refunded. The remaining 30% is retained to help cover the time and costs involved in finding a replacement enrolment.

The refund will be calculated using the date of withdrawal and the remaining scheduled days in the family's enrolment agreement.
