Registration Information

Registration Priority

All children who have previously attended Rio Terrace Community Pre-school (and their siblings) have first priority in the program and are eligible to register January 1st for the following year.  Children who are new to the program and live in the Rio Terrace, Patricia Heights and Quesnell Community are eligible to register February 1st.  Out-of-area residents may register as of April 1st.  Children within these categories will be enrolled in the order that a fully complete Registration Application Form and all supporting documentation have been provided to the registrar. 

Fees

A $50 registration fee is charged when a child first registers.  This fee is non-refundable after May 1st.  Monthly fees are $118 for the Tuesday and Thursday programs, and $100 for the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday program.  Post-dated cheques payable to the RIO TERRACE COMMUNITY PRESCHOOL must be submitted with the Registration Application. 

Payment may be made according to one of the following three options:

1. One cheque which covers the entire ten-month period dated September 1,

2. Three post-dated cheques dated September 1, January 1, and April 1 (one for September, October, November and December; one for January, February, and March; and one for April, May and June) or,

3. Ten post-dated cheques, one for each month, dated the first of each month

Fees are payable in full, whether or not your child attends all the sessions.  Fees are not refunded for absences due to illness, holidays, or inclement weather.  N.S.F. cheques will be charged $17.00.  If the cheque is not replaced within one (1) school day, your child could lose her/his spot.

Withdrawl From Pre-School

One clear month's written notice or one month’s fee in lieu is required before leaving the program.  Money will then be refunded on a prorated basis.  

Community League Membership

As the Pre-school is part of the Rio Terrace Community League and is covered under the Community League’s insurance policy, a current community league membership (from any Community League in Edmonton) is required if you wish your child to attend Rio Terrace Community Pre-school.
