Accepting a Childcare Space
Prior to being offered a childcare space families will attend an interview.
If the family is confident that Cariboo Child Care can meet their child’s care needs, and Cariboo Child Care is confident that we can meet the family’s expectations, a child care space may be offered.
If the space is offered and accepted, families will be provided with a password to access the registration form and parent agreement form (see below). These forms must be completed and submitted within the time frame specified in your offer letter in order to secure the space.
Shortly after submission, a Senior Educator will contact you to set up an orientation visit with you and your child. You are always welcome to contact the administration office if you have questions.
