Accepting a childcare space
Prior to being offered a childcare space families attend an interview. If the family is confident Cariboo can provide the type of care they require for their child and Cariboo is confident we can meet family expectations, a place may be offered. Once accepted, you will be provided with a password to access the registration form and parent agreement below. These forms must be completed and submitted within the week to ensure the space is secured.
Shortly after submission, a senior teacher will contact you to set up orientation visits with your child. You are always welcome to contact the office if you have questions.
