What ages does this program accept?
Southlands can accept children from 12 months - school aged. Please note that for the 2025/2026 and the 2026/2027 school year we are only accepting children ages 3 - 5 years of age.
What is a multiage program?
A multiage program is a group child care license, where there are a maximum of 8 children and 1 educator.
This is a unique program that allows children from 12 months - school age to combine together, similar to a family-style child care setting. This is ideal for families with multiple siblings or children who have asynchronus development and beenfit from being around children of diverse ages.
What are the hours of operation?
We offer three possible programs at Southlands:
8:00 - 2:30 - Core Day

All registration is five days a week (Monday - Friday)

What are the parent participation requirements for this program?
Parent Participation Programs are different than other daycares or preschools, because our parents are directly involved.
Parents have the opportunity to be with their child once each month in the classroom during their mandatory volunteering shifts. Parents participate in the administration of their child’s daycare by working on parent subcommittees that support the program operation, such as helping with registration and enrolment; supporting HR, recruitment and retention; managing parent volunteer schedules; helping with making playdough or filing art work; updating classroom calendars; or managing our parent social media.
Like all parent participation programs, we offer free parenting education workshops throughout the year.
Visit our fees and volunteering requirements page to learn about the specific volunteering requirements.
I would like to have a tour of this program.
Unfortunately, due to the disruption tours bring to the classroom, we do not offer tours to families.
Once a family from our waitlist has accepted a space and has completed their registration paperwork, the program manager will contact the family to schedule 2-3 classroom visits prior to beginning gradual entry.
You can additionally view our program space through our virtual tour.
