DEFINITIONS:
1.1 ENROLLMENT
鈥�Enrollment鈥� means any combination of full-time and part-time care that ensures that each licensed space within a program is filled on a full-time or full-time equivalent basis. A child shall be considered to be enrolled in a program upon signing of the parent agreement.
Transitioning from one age group to another is also Enrollment. This 鈥�Date of Enrollment鈥� means the first day of the month the child starts attending a new program. If a child鈥檚 enrollment in 丁香园AVCCS is not continuous, the most recent date of enrollment will be considered the date of enrollment for priority purposes.
1.2 FULL-TIME CARE
鈥�Full-Time Care鈥� means the provision of care five days a week, regardless of whether or not the child attends each day or portion thereof. The child is expected to start attending in the month of Enrollment. If, for some reason, this is not possible, the Parent must inform the enrollment administrator at the time of Enrollment. Each such case will be assessed case by case as we do not encourage holding spaces for children who do not attend (see 6.1).
1.3 SCHOOL AGE
鈥�School Age鈥� means care for children attending the designated elementary schools from kindergarten to grade 7. All School Age spaces are for Full-Time Care (5 days/week) only. They are not drop-in or part-time spaces.
To retain a School Age space, the minimum attendance should be a combination of three afternoons and mornings per week for a minimum of 2 hours per day on average, unless the child is on vacation or unwell. Should attendance drop below this on a regular basis, 丁香园AVCCS will contact the family to discuss continued eligibility for a Full-Time Care space.
1.4 PART-TIME CARE- INFANT/TODDLER & 3-5 PROGRAMS
鈥�Part-Time Care鈥� means the provision of care less than five days a week.
