Discharge Policy

We strive to accommodate children during transitions between programs. However, we cannot guarantee every child's availability in the next program. If a space is unavailable, we will keep the child in the current program as long as possible, keeping parents informed to allow them time to make alternate arrangements. The child will be on our priority waiting list for a potential return.
Beacons' Creche and Preschool reserves the right to discontinue childcare service to a family if:

• The child does not adjust to the care setting within a reasonable timeframe determined by the center.

• Despite utilizing all available teaching and facilitator resources, the child continues to exhibit continuous harmful behaviour that endangers the well-being of other children or staff.

• This includes vulgar language and profanities.

• The parent/guardian displays abusive behaviour towards the center's staff, children, or their child.

• Failure to comply with the policies outlined in the Parent Handbook.

​

Withdrawal Policy
Written notice of withdrawal must be provided two months in advance to ensure the deposit is credited to the account and not lost. Failure to provide notice will result in the loss of the deposit. The withdrawal policy will be followed for parents with subsidy arrangements through the City of Ottawa.
