​Withdrawing Your Child

Once a child is enrolled at JCD, they are considered continuously active. Invoices will generate automatically month after month until a formal written notice of withdrawal is submitted.


Notice Requirement During the School Year

Custodial parents/guardians must provide at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Supervisor when withdrawing a child during the school year (September through June).

  • Last Day of Enrollment: Your child’s final official day will be exactly 30 days from the date the written notice is received.
  • Fees During Notice Period: Regular tuition fees apply throughout the 30-day notice period. If a family fails to provide 30 days' notice, tuition will still be charged for the full 30 days.


Notice Requirement for September (The June 1st Deadline)
All children enrolled at JCD in May are automatically registered and held a spot for the upcoming September school year.


Critical September Billing Policy
June 1st is the absolute deadline to cancel a September registration for all Daycare programs, whether your child is a brand-new intake or a returning student.


If written notice of withdrawal is not received by the Supervisor on or before June 1st, your family will be fully invoiced for September tuition.

  • Out-of-District Moves: This policy applies strictly even if your family moves out of the Jackman School catchment area over the summer. Moving away does not cancel your enrollment automatically.
  • Late Notice: If you notify JCD in July or August that your child will not be returning, you remain financially responsible for the full September fee.

​​Temporary Withdrawals
A permanent space cannot be held or reserved if a child is temporarily withdrawn from a program (e.g., extended vacations). Re-enrollment at a later date will require re-applying to the waitlist via the standard registration process.


Saying Goodbye
JCD believes closure is vital to a child's developmental transitions. Please inform your child and their classroom educators ahead of time so the team can help make their final days a positive, celebratory experience.


Sharing Daycare Spaces
Available daycare spaces are allocated exclusively to one family. To maintain the consistency, routine, and stability required for healthy child development, JCD does not permit the "sharing" of a single full-time space between different children on alternating days of the week.
