Waitlist Procedure & FAQs

Our primary intake periods are during the summer and September, with additional openings available randomly throughout the year.

Our Open House is held annually during the first quarter of the year, typically in February.

This is a great opportunity to explore our programs and meet our educators.

If you were unable to schedule a private tour before joining our waitlist, this would be an ideal time to visit.

While there are no fees to join our waitlist, once a spot becomes available and is confirmed, the application fee is a one-time payment of $350.

Our procedures are different because we prioritize creating a unique experience that meets the specific needs of our families. By taking the time to assess individual needs, our procedures ensure a higher level of efficiency and satisfaction. Ultimately, our goal is to deliver the best possible results while maintaining transparency and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Renaissance Kids offers programs for children aged 12 months to 5 years old.

Each program is designed for specific age groups.

No, once you’ve put your child on the waitlist, they will be automatically moved to the next program if they didn’t receive a spot in time for the original program you were interested in.

For example, if you applied for Explorers Program (1-2yrs old), your child will automatically be on the waitlist for our Discoverers (2-3yrs old), Illuminators (3-4yrs old) and Virtuosos Programs (4-5yrs old).

We do not disclose waitlist positions. Please refrain from contacting our office for this information.

If your child is not accepted for the upcoming school year, they will remain on the waiting list until a spot becomes available, or until they age out of all our programs. Please note that the waiting period can be at least 1 year.

When a spot becomes available, the next applicant on the waitlist will be notified 1-2 months before by email. Please check your spam and junk folders regularly.

Upon acceptance, parents will receive an email with details for our Online Enrolment Portal, where all required forms and supporting documents must be submitted along with the tuition deposit.

If we attempt to contact a family twice over two consecutive years and do not receive a response, the child will be removed from the waitlist. We strongly encourage families to update their contact information and check their spam/junk folders regularly.

Admission is based on multiple factors, including availability, age group placement, and program fit. Priority is generally given to siblings of current students, alumni and staff children.

We do not offer direct financial aid; however, families may be eligible for government childcare subsidies. We encourage parents to explore available assistance programs through their local government.

While it’s easy for people to mistaken a waitlist to be solely based on chronological order, please remember that with daycare waitlists we are dealing with different age groups and programs. So if someone received a spot before you, but joined the waitlist after you, chances are your children aren’t the same age, and the other program had a vacancy, but your program is still full.

Also, please note that priority is generally given to siblings of current students alumni and staff children.

Outside of these circumstances, we take our first come first serve policy seriously and honour it with integrity.
