Canmore Preschool Registration Night & Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the 2016-17 school year will be held:

Wednesday, March 9, 2016

7:00 p.m.

Holiday Inn, 1 Silvertip Trail, Canmore. (Nakiska Room, Level P)

Please click the button to the upper right to submit your registration forms and fee online. Specific class placements will still be determined by the Preschool after AGM. We ask all families to attend AGM on March 9, 2016, and families that attend will be placed in classes first.

Online registration is new for the 2016-2017 school year, so we will still accept paper forms at the AGM if necessary, but we appreciate you trying the new system! The system will ask you to Register for a 3yo or 4yo student, to complete the registration forms, and pay the $45 registration fee. For 2016-2017, 3yo classes are intended for children born in 2013, and 4yo classes for children born in 2012.

If you wish to register for 2016-2017 but cannot attend the AGM, please call the office to discuss your situation – 403-678-2538.

The Annual General Meeting will last about an hour. We recommend attending without kids in order to focus on business and wrap up as soon as possible. We are working on arrangements to provide some childcare on site for those who need it.

The first order of business for the AGM is to make sure we have a full complement of board members for the coming school year. As a cooperative, non-profit organization, the Canmore Preschool cannot operate without these volunteers. We have some returning members for 2016-2017, but some positions remain to be filled. The children of board members will be guaranteed their class placement! Call the office at 403-678-2538, if you are interested in volunteering, or look for the sign-up sheets in the lobby.

The second order of business is registration for the 2016-2017 school year. If there are too many applicants for a class, all registrations submitted (whether online or on paper) by those attending the meeting will be assigned class placements on a lottery system. Parents must attend the meeting for their child to enter the lottery. All registrations submitted after Registration Night will be placed or waitlisted in the order they are submitted, as space allows.

Thanks!

We welcome all families considering preschool to call the office at 403-678-2538 to schedule a time to visit one of our classes. This is the perfect way to see what we do, and introduce your child to the program.

But it’s not just for new students! If your child has attended the 3-year-old classes this year and you’re looking at your options for pre-Kindergarten, please come and visit a 4-year-old class. Our program is designed to grow with your child, to challenge them, and to set them up for success when they transition to Kindergarten. Give us a call and set up a time to see for yourself!

Registration for 2016-2017 began on March 9th, 2016. It is now ongoing, on a first-come first-served basis. There is still space available in some classes. Please call the office to check current availability.
