Waitlist Policy/Selection Process
Footprints Daycare establishes a priority ranking for offering available space to new applicants on our waiting list.
- Children of staff members
- Children in care who need to increase their days of care.
- Siblings of children already enrolled
- Children in care who need to move into the next age group
- Children of employees working at NVD Place on 4th Avenue
- All other applicants are on the waiting list.
Kids with Special Needs
- We use a family-centered approach.
- We can either refer a child to the Child Development Centre, or parents can refer their child directly to the Child Development Centre. Parents, Footprints Staff, and Child Development Centre will work together to meet the child’s special needs.
- We will work on future programs to minimize the noise in the center. This will be beneficial to children who are sensitive to noise.
Procedures
Once a space is available, Footprints Daycare will notify applicants via telephone call or email. We will give 48 hours for the applicants to return a phone call or respond to an email before we move on to the next person on the waiting list. A tour of the Center will be done from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on any day from Monday to Friday. Bring your child during the tour so that he/she will feel welcome to her new environment as his/her second home. Once the tour is done, Footprints Staff will give 48 hours to confirm the space. A reservation fee of $100.00 is non-refundable and non-deductible for monthly fees.
Registration Policy

Testimonials
My son has been attending Footprints Daycare since they first opened. With this being our first daycare experience, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I can easily say we love this daycare. Each day my son is greeted with a smile and much love. Every day, I know he's going to be well cared for by the wide staff of loving, caring individuals. They put a lot of care into each day for the children through many different activities, like singing and dancing, crafts and games and I love hearing about their trips to the park. They're always sure to let me know how my son's day went, whether he ate and enjoyed his lunch or not, (that being said, they're always sure he's fed, whether he likes what I've packed him or not.) Another thing I also greatly appreciate, is knowing he's getting a proper nap in each day. Which I know he needs. Overall, I'm very happy with this daycare, the staff, and all they do for every child in their care.
