School Age Fees
A fee agreement for each child must be completed in the office.
One month’s written notice is required when you withdraw your child from school-age programs.
We accept cash, cheques (payable to Spare Time) and bank e-transfers.
Administration fee is a $25 annual fee (September to August).
