Returning in September

A final reminder that the deadline to withdraw for September 2025 is June 1. Please send notice, or any questions you may have, in writing to Gwen at supervisor@jackmandaycare.ca   Nursery school families do not need to send a withdraw notice.


*Please note: if you withdraw your child after the June 1, 2025 deadline,

you will be charged the September 2025 fees.


Safe Arrival
Child absences are to be reported directly to your child’s daycare room.  Messages can be left at any time.  Please refrain from emailing the daycare office with absences, especially as we move into the summer months, as emails may not be received in a timely manner.

It’s time for Sunscreen and Hats

​With the nicer weather upon us, the daycare rooms will be spending more programming time outdoors.  Before you drop off in the morning, please put on the first coat of sunscreen.  Leave a labeled bottle in their cubby or knapsack for use later in the day.  A reminder that aerosol spray sunscreen is not permitted in the school. 
Please ensure your child has a brimmed hat for additional protection from the sun.


Proper Footwear – no crocs
As we gear up for an exciting and active summer, we want to ensure that all children are safe and comfortable during their playtime. Please take note of our footwear requirements:

  • Running shoes are required every day. These provide the best support and protection for active play.
  • Sandals are allowed, but they must have straps that secure them to the foot. This ensures they stay on during various activities.
  • Flip-flops and Crocs are not permitted. These types of footwear can be tripping hazards and do not provide adequate protection for your child's feet.


Thank you for helping us keep our daycare a safe and fun environment for all children!

Room Assignments September 2025
We have been working on or enrollments for September.
Our grade 1-6 rooms will be mixed grades. Our two kindergarten rooms will remain one room for JK children, and one for SK children. The final room assignments are based on the needs of the daycare and enrollment numbers per grade.
 
School Hours September 2025
As communicated by the TDSB, the school day hours starting September 2025 will be 8:50am-3:20pm.  All grades will start and end their days at the same time.  The daycare will continue to take children outside in the morning by 8:30am and pick up or receive the children at 3:20pm.
