West Hillhurst Preschool is participating in the Provincial Affordability Program.
All parents of children aged zero to kindergarten, will benefit from reduced fees through affordability grants. Funding is provided directly to operators and is to be used specifically to reduce fees. Fee reductions for 2025-2026 are up to a maximum of $100/month which will be automatically applied monthly to each student's account.
Registering for multiple programs
Yes, you are able to register your child for multiple programs, but they must be on different days. Per our licensing, we are not allowed to have children in class for more than 4 hours/day.
Example: All afternoons and mornings can be combined (if they are 4 by Dec 31) i.e., a combination of M/W/F am & T/Th pm, or M/W p.m. & T/Th a.m. You will only be charged once for the administration fee and the supply fee.
Withdrawal Policy
Written notice must be sent to the Registrar at least two full calendar months prior to withdrawal (e.g., by November 1st for a January withdrawal). Fees are not prorated for mid-month withdrawals. Withdrawals prior to the start of classes must be made before July 1st to avoid penalty.
Registration Information
Registration is conducted online via the West Hillhurst Community Association's Online Services portal. You are encouraged to create your family's online account prior to registration and ensure that your child has been added to your account with his or her accurate birthdate.
