2026/2027 Enrolment Update:
We are currently beginning our callout for internal families for the 2026/2027 year. We will begin our waitlist/external family callout in April 2026, for September enrolment.
Our waitlists are extremely long, and priority for these spaces goes to siblings of children in our existing programs. If you are an external applicant who as applied for our waitlist, we will begin reaching out to families in April of 2026. We aim to have spaces confirmed by May 2026. If you have not heard back from us by end of May, then most likely our spaces have been filled for the September 2026 year.
Our out-of-school care spaces are even more limited than early years, and most of our internal children will move into these spaces, please aim to make alternative arrangements if you are on our waitlist for out-of-school care. We serve both Hastings Elementary and Tillicum Community Annex.
While we wish we could reply to each of you individually, we will prioritize responding to questions where the answers cannot be found on this page first. Thank-you very much for your interest in Kiwassa’s childcare programs, and thank you for your patience!
