Fees effective September 1, 2023 & Waiting List Application

View our fee schedule below. You can also apply online using the web form on this page, located below the fee schedule.

Waitlist : Please note that we operate at 100% capacity in our centers at all times so we only have spaces when families leave our care.  Open spaces are filled with current children who need to “move up” to the next age group prior to contacting families from our waitlist. After this, we fill spaces from our waitlist based on the age range we need to replace.  Our waitlist has all our centers, age ranges, and start date preferences mixed together so we are not able to give you an accurate idea of how many families are ahead of you or give you a time frame for when you will receive care.  Families are primarily contacted through email so it is important that you regularly check your junk mail.

Guidelines and Considerations for Stonebridge Registrations

1. Your application will be reviewed in the order it was received via our website. Applications are automatically time-stamped as they are submitted.

2. Applications will then be reviewed according to the following criteria:

  • a. Geographic area (Stonebridge): Priority will be given to children / families who live within the boundaries of the community of Stonebridge.

  • b. Siblings in the centre: Does not impact initial registration. Priority given to applicants with siblings already attending the PELC Stonebridge centre.

3. For licensing purposes, we can only register a certain number of children in each age group (i.e. We can only register 12 Infants, 30 Toddlers, and 48 Preschoolers/Kindergarten children at this location). Priority will be given to children / families who are registering a child for whom we have space.

4. If you have more than one child you would like to enroll, it will require TWO application forms so on the 1st application please make a note that you have another child to enroll.
