Admission FAQs
What is the minimum age from which you accept children in your kindergarten?
The minimum age is 18 months.
Is there a waiting list that I can place my child on?
Yes, we do offer a waiting list. However, being placed on a wait list does not guarantee a space, but does place clients in order of priority. A space can only be considered ‘confirmed’ when a pre-registration fee has been accepted by Diana Daycare; this payment holds the space. Diana Daycare will not be provided “in lieu” in the event a client has paid a pre-registration fee and then later chooses to forfeit that space.
Should I keep my child at home if he/she is sick?
If your child shows symptoms of ill health, such as fever, vomiting or diarrhea, your child will not be admitted to care. If your child develops symptoms of ill health while in our care, we will contact you to make arrangements to have your child picked up.
Do you offer subsidies if I cannot afford the full fee?
No, unfortunately, Diana Daycare cannot offer subsidies for low-income families.
How many children attend the daycare?
Based on the Ontario Goverment Child care rules under the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014 (CCEYA), we can have in our care a maximum of 5 children.
How much do you charge for Part Time?
Sorry at this moment we don’t have any part-time available spots.
Do you offer subsidies or CWELCC fee reductions?
Diana Daycare is an independent home daycare and is not enrolled in the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care program (CWELCC). Our childcare fees are privately set and are confirmed with families before enrollment based on the care schedule and current availability.
Families who choose Diana Daycare are often looking for the benefits of a smaller home daycare environment, including:
- A small group with a maximum of five children.
- One consistent caregiver throughout the day.
- More opportunities for individual attention and interaction.
- Direct communication with the person caring for your child.
- A familiar, home-like environment.
- A consistent daily routine with learning through play, meals, rest, and outdoor activities.
If you would like to know the current full-time or part-time rate, contact us with your child’s age, preferred start date, and the days you require care. We will confirm the rate and availability before you make any enrollment commitment.

What are your hours of operation?

Do you offer part-time daycare?
At this time, no part-time spots are available. All current spaces are full-time only.
What documents are required to enroll my child?
Once a space is available, parents will be asked to complete registration forms and provide relevant information such as emergency contacts and medical details.
Can I visit the daycare before enrolling?
Yes. We strongly encourage parents to schedule a visit before enrollment. This allows you to see the environment, ask questions, and ensure the daycare is a good fit for your family.

How far in advance should I apply?
We recommend applying as early as possible, especially if you are planning for a future start date, as spaces are limited.
