FAQs
Do parents have to pay fees for days that their child does not attend due to illness or vacation?
Yes, fees are paid during all absences; once a space is confirmed, it is payable whether the child attends or not.
Are there any subsidized child care spaces in your settings?
Yes. For subsidy, you can contact Government of Alberta.
Here is the appropriate link for that https://humanservices.alberta.ca/financial-support/15104.html
Are there any times throughout the year that you are closed?
We are opened all year round.
What is your policy regarding sick children?
We do our best to be supportive of the working parent and at the same time, operate within the health standard guidelines mandated by Pakiza Day Home. If a child is feeling somewhat under the weather but is able to function within the program we will allow them to remain. Communicable illnesses, other than colds, require exclusions which are determined by Pakiza Day Home. We will administer medications such as antibiotics providing proper procedures are followed.
What items are parents responsible for once their child is enrolled?
Parents are responsible for providing their child's diapers and any infant related food that the child may still be requiring.
Do you offer "family rates"?
No, we are unable to provide this system. Fees are on a "as per child" basis.
Can I set-up a visit to see the child care centres?
Yes. A site visit will be set up if the possibility of a space exists. Random visits will not be conducted if there is no space availability as this would be very disruptive to the children in our care.
Do you provide Before and After School Programs?
Yes. Before and After School programs are offered at Pakiza Day Home.
