Question 1

Is the waitlist on a first come, first serve basis?"

Accepted Answer

No, Please see above ways that you can increase your chances of getting a space. After all priorities have been accounted for it become first come, first serve.

Question 2

How is my application confirmed?

Accepted Answer

Parents are given 72 hours to notify us to their decision to either accept or decline the enrolment. If parents fail to contact us withint the 72 hour period, the assumption is made that the family is no longer interested in our program and the child's name will be removed from the waiting list.
 
If the space is declined, the child's name will be removed from the waiting list. Because of this, it is very important to keep us up to date with changes to contact details (emails, phone numbers, etc).

Question 3

What if I'm thinking about future enrolment?

Accepted Answer

Sunflower only hold a one year waitlist that opens on September 1st of the year prior. For example. If you wanted to register your child in B&A September 2025 you would ask to be put on the waitlist in September 2024. Families on our waitlist still need to apply during the registration period. 
 
There is a shortage of spaces in our community for before and after school care. Many programs carry very long waitlists. 
 
Younger siblings of children currently attending our programs take priority over other families on our waitlist. This is what sometimes creates a stagnant waitlist. We often will only have a few spaces open up for the new school year and we fill those spots with a younger sibling of one of our current participants.
 
Your child’s sequence on the wait list may change from year to year according
to the Priority List.
