Centre Resources

Bright Beginnings for Kids Inc. is licensed for sixty-four children from 12 months to 5 years of age. Our facility is comprised of five classrooms:

It is important to note that while children already enrolled within the childcare are given priority for space, there is no guarantee that a space will be available in the next program. For example, once a child in the infant room turns two, we can not guarantee a space in the toddler room/preschool program. We do our best to avoid turning a child away. If a space will not be available in the next program, we will give families a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice.

Our kinder program primarily accepts children who are enrolled at Varennes School; however, we have made exceptions to accept children enrolled in other schools and community areas. These exceptions are individually based and approved by the Executive Director.

Priority is given to siblings attending the centre and/or children who have previously been enrolled in our program who have left in good standing.

If you wish to be placed on our waitlist, please email [email protected]. Provide your name, phone number, child’s name and date of birth and when care is required.

Children between the ages of 12 months and 2 years are eligible for our infant program. Children between the ages of 2-5 years are eligible for our preschool program.

Bright Beginnings for Kids Inc. operates at full capacity. When spaces become available, we will use our waiting list to fill spaces. Priority will be based on the following:

1.  Siblings of children currently enrolled at Bright Beginnings for Kids Inc.
2.  Length of time your family has been enrolled at Bright Beginnings for Kids Inc. on a continuing basis.
3. The length of time your child has been on the waiting list.
