Definitions
Regular: A student who is registered and attending Daycare for a minimum of 1 to 5 days a week and a minimum of 2 periods per day. This applies to students who attend on a weekly basis, following a fixed schedule.
Sporadic: A student who is registered and attending Daycare for one period a day (AM, LUNCH or PM). Please note that the lunch period is considered a block. A sporadic student is also someone who is registered and attends on a pedagogical day.
Occasional: A student who is registered but does not have a forecasted attendance and does not attend on a weekly basis. Daycare services are needed for emergency purposes. The parent/guardian must give the daycare a 24-hour notice when possible and keep in mind that it is not a guarantee that their child(ren) will be put in the same daycare group as their classmates.
