LEARNING THROUGH PLAY SINCE 1973

FEES

Unfortunately, due to operational costs, there will be no discount for the months where the Nursery School is closed due to holidays. The full amount is due every month from September to June. 
  • One time Registration Fee per child (non-refundable) upon enrollment - $25 cash only
  • $100 cash deposit which will be returned at the end of the school year, or when you follow the procedures for withdrawing your child from the program (one month notice).
  • 3 days/week -$245/month plus $8/month for snack
​Please note: We are NOT a drop in centre. Withdrawal notice of one month is required in writing, failure to do so will result in paying for the month and loss of the deposit fee of $100.00
​
Our Board of Directors are made up of parent volunteers. 
We are a Co-operative nursery school. What this means is that you give an hour or two of your time each month to be involved in our program. 

Some of the ways you can be involved are:
  1. Grocery shopping for snacks.
  2. Take down at the end of the day.
  3. Toy washing.
  4. Fundraising.
  5. Picking up the mail.
  6. Board member.
 Gingerbread Nursery School is operated by five Volunteer Board Members

WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT

Using the guidelines, as outlined in the Assessment for Quality Improvement with the Durham Region Operating Criteria, we deliver  a high-quality program that allows children opportunities for play, socialization, exploration and developmentally appropriate learning in a safe and nurturing environment.

​We incorporate the Ministry of Education's policy statement reflecting the pedagogic approach of How Does Learning Happen which views children as competent, capable and rich in potential. It sets out broad goals for children and expectations for programs organized around the four foundations of belonging, well-being, engagement and expression.
