How it works

Your schedule changes week to week, so your childcare should too. Tell us by Thursday which days you need and we'll have a spot ready.

Fill out the form with the weekend you need and which days. Anything in before Thursday gets you a spot. Booking a few weekends at once is fine too.

You'll hear back within one business day with your confirmed days, drop-off details, and anything we need to know about allergies or routines.

3

Come Saturday, Sunday, or both

Book one day or the whole weekend, whatever your shifts call for. Need next weekend too? Fill out the form again.

Good questions

Before you book

When do I need to book by?+
Thursday of that week. Fill out the form with the days you need and we'll confirm your spot before the weekend. That lead time is what lets us set staffing, ratios and meal planning for exactly the children who'll be there.
Can I book just one day?+
Yes. Saturday only, Sunday only, or both. Just tell us on the form which days you need and we'll hold those.
Can I book more than one weekend at a time?+
You can. If you already know your shifts for the next few weeks, list all the weekends you need on the form and we'll book them together. Otherwise, week by week works just as well.
What if my plans change after I book?+
Booked days are charged whether or not your child comes, because we've staffed the room for them. Let us know as early as you can if something changes, and give us a call if you're in a tough spot.
What ages do you take?+
Our educators are trained across every stage of early childhood. Tell us your child's age on the form and we'll confirm the right room.
What are the hours and where are you?+
Weekend care runs 9:00am to 5:00pm, Saturday and Sunday, at 6482 Telfer Road, Sarnia.
