​A Message from our Executive Director 

March is here, bringing with it the promise of spring! On March 20, we officially welcome the new season, and we are all looking forward to longer days, more sunshine, and the vibrant colours returning to our surroundings. It’s always a wonderful time of year as the children begin to notice these exciting changes in nature.
 
We are also eagerly anticipating March Break (March 10–14)! Our educators have been hard at work planning an engaging and fun-filled week for the children, with activities designed to spark creativity, encourage exploration, and keep everyone active and engaged. We can’t wait to share these experiences with them!
 
As always, we appreciate the ongoing support of our families. If you have any questions or just want to check in, my door is always open. Wishing you all a wonderful start to the new season!

March Break Fun
The Daycare is open for five fun-filled days from March 10-14 from 7:30am-6:00pm. Nursery School is closed.
 
Calendar of events will be emailed to families and are posted outside the daycare rooms and on the room web pages on our website.  Please see staff to sign the required permission forms.  Our trip on Tuesday March 11 for children in JK-Grade 6 is a full day outdoor trip. Please ensure your child dresses for the weather.  Boots are recommended.
 
Our JK and SK children will have catered lunch provided for the week, children in grades 1 -6 are required to bring their own lunch.
 
Children must arrive by 9:00AM each day. Families may face delays entering the building between 9:00AM and 4:00PM.
 
​​A reminder that daycare fees are charged for all days regardless of a child's attendance. Fees are not adjusted for statutory holidays, unplanned program closings, student absences or family vacations. This ensures we can maintain staffing and program operations.​
 
Summer Camp for Grades 1-6

Our summer camp registration for our current families is well under way.  Registration is exclusive to our daycare families until Friday March 21, 2025.  Children going into grades 1-6 in September 2025 must register for a minimum of 2 weeks to secure their daycare spot. 
 
Links to the registration forms and summer camp information is available on our website.  Jackman Summer Camp 2025
 
Children currently in the Daycare’s Preschool & JK programs will stay in their current classrooms until Thursday August 28 as these are 12-month programs. Summer calendars for Preschool & JK will be available closer to summer.
 
If your child(ren) will not be returning to Jackman Daycare in September 2025, please provide written notice as soon as possible.  The deadline to withdraw for September 2025 is June 1, 2025.  If you are able to confirm prior to June 1st that would assist in our planning.  Withdraws after the June 1st deadline, will be charged September fees.

Room Assignments September 2025
Our grade 1-6 rooms will be mixed grades. Our two kindergarten rooms will remain one room for JK children, and one for SK.
The final room assignments are based on the needs of the daycare and enrollment numbers per grade.

2024 Tax Receipts
Tax receipts for childcare fees paid in 2024 were emailed on February 4th. Emails were sent to the parent responsible for the TUIO payments.  Please contact Christine at admin@jackmandaycare.ca if you require the email to be resent. Receipts are not available for download within individual TUIO accounts.

Safe Arrival
Once again, thank you to our families for reporting child absences directly to their daycare rooms. The school and daycare do have separate reporting procedures.  If there is a case where the school has called for you to come pick up your child due to illness, you can ask the main office to let the daycare know.
 
Room Bulletin Boards
Along with the room Instagram pages, our staff post documentation panels on the bulletin boards outside the room.  Make sure to take a look at them during drop off and pick up. It is a great overview of the room activities..
