Policy Changes

28/4/2020

 
Dear Parents/Guardians of Salmo Children’s Centre,
 
Although we are not currently operating, I am obliged to let you know about the following changes to our Billing and Cancellation policies and procedures.
These policies/procedures will be important to consider when it is time for you to start booking child care spaces again.
At the February meeting of the Board of the Salmo Child Care Society, the following changes to our Billing and Cancellation procedures were approved.
Please Note:  Our rates are not increasing, we are simply eliminating the hourly rate option, and the option to cancel bookings without penalty.
 
Effective June 1, 2020, the following change to our billing and cancellation procedures will be implemented:
 
Billing Procedure
 
Care Type                       Half Day Rate                         Full Day Rate
                                       (under 4 hours)                           (over 4.25 hours)

Children 3-K                    $26.50                                     $37.50
                                       (K would be hourly except during school breaks and pro-d)
 
School-age program          $22.30                                     $31.50
                                       (hourly, except during school breaks and pro-d)
 
Parent fee reduction from the Province of BC will continue to be applied at a rate of $8.75 per half day and $17.50 per full day, for under 3 year olds, or $2.50 per half day and $5.00 per full day for children aged 3 years to kindergarten.

Cancellation Policy:
 
-Clients will be billed for all reserved spaces, and may request additional spaces, when available. 
 
-A minimum of two weeks notice in writing, or via email, is required to book extended holiday time (ie. summer vacation) or withdraw, without being billed, from any of the Salmo Children's Centre programs.
 
-Parents/guardians are still expected to notify the Centre if their child will be absent from any of the programs on any given day.

Jammie Day in the Infant/Toddler Room!

Kids in the kitchen are happy, helping kids!  They did the work and reaped the rewards on this special day when the Junior Kindergarten class and the 3-5 year olds joined forces!

Small muscles, big results

26/2/2020

 
Picture
One of these days soon, the toddlers will be using their fingers and their hands for all kinds of important tasks - whether it's writing their name on a piece of paper, or using a screw driver to fix or build something.
Today, they practiced using those small muscles as they crumpled bits of tissue paper, dipped them in some glue, and stuck them to the paper.
At first it was hard to think about leaving the bits on the paper.  Sometimes it was more interesting to dip the same piece lots of times, or take it on and off the paper.
Being patient while they waited for the glue to dry had its challenges, but seeing the transformation of the liquid glue into something solid was worth the wait!

Spring is on its Way!

Isn't it interesting how the grass is frosty in the shade, but not in the sun?  Hmmm...
