to Hamilton's Best Co-op Preschool

  • Pied Piper Registration

    What you need to know to register your child for this school year
    • Registration Fee

      A $125 registration fee is required for each child registered at the school, and includes your child’s snacks for the full year. The registration fee is due immediately to hold your child’s place in our classes and is non-refundable.

    • Tuition Cheques

      Tuition cheques for the entire school year are to be submitted prior to your child starting at the school and must be post-dated for the 1st of each month.

    • Commitment Cheques

      Two commitment cheques, dated December 1 and May 1, each for $100, must be submitted prior to your child starting at the school. These cheques will not be cashed if all membership obligations are met.

    • Duty Days

      A parent/caregiver of each registered child is required to complete duty days, which includes participating regularly as teacher
      assistants in the school program, normally twice per month.

    • Missed Duty Days

      It’s your responsibility (parent/caregiver) to arrange another parent (and reciprocate later) to cover a scheduled duty day if you cannot participate for any reason. If you miss a scheduled duty day and you didn’t find an alternate to cover you, you’ll be charged $60 fee to pay for a replacement duty parent.

    • Police Clearance

      If you plan to complete duty days, and will be interacting with children, you are required by law to complete a POLICE CLEARANCE (vulnerable sector screening search). You may complete it online, but do it soon, as it takes weeks to arrive in the mail.

    • Medical Test & Vaccination

      You must also provide written results of a T.B. Test, and proof of the date of your last TETNUS/DIPHTHERIA shot (maximum 10 years).

    • First Aid and CPR

      All parents should have Standard First Aid and CPR training to participate on their duty days. We offer training for free through Affiliated Services for Children and Youth (ASCY).

    • NEW! Special Funding Offer

      The City of Hamilton is offering all parents $5 per day per child off if their monthly fees in an effort to make child care/preschool more accessible to families during this Co-Vid time.
