Our daycare program is offered with the Halfmoon Bay Elementary School year

Daycare Days and Hours of Operation

The Halfmoon Bay Childcare Centre  is open year-round, Tuesday – Friday from 8:00am – 3:30pm

We provide high quality care for children by offering a safe, creative, developmentally challenging, and nurturing environment, to facilitate the physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth of each child.

GRADUAL ENTRY

To support your child’s entry into the program, we will have a Gradual Entry schedule as follows:

  • Day 1:

    • 8am – 12:30pm

  • Day 2:

    • 8am – 2:00pm

  • Day 3 & 4:

    • 8am – 3:30pm

Parents can choose to continue a more gradual entry beyond this if they feel it’s in their child’s interest, but this is the schedule we will have everyone to start.

The centre will close with the SD46 for Winter Break in December and the last week in August for deep cleaning and turnaround for fall. The first two weeks in July every year staff take vacation and the centre will reopen following this closure. July’s fees will be adjusted accordingly.

We will also be closed for two separate staff training days during the year to attend conferences together and meet our licensing training requirements. Families affected will be notified well in advance.

If there are centre closures due to staff illness or inclement weather, families will not be reimbursed for those days.
