Policies

The latest policies from Eramosa Learning Academy

Fee Policy

A deposit of $200.00/family is required with acceptance of admission (refundable with 30 days notice of withdrawal as long as there are no outstanding balances). Students may not attend until all online registration forms are completed in full (including addresses and postal codes). The deposit, fees and miscellaneous charges (PD days, NSF charge etc) are payable by Electronic Funds Transfer and Pre-Authorized-Debit (PAD) Agreements must be filled in and submitted to Eramosa Learning Academy. Parents/guardians will be invoiced each month and the fee will be withdrawn electronically from the specified account on the 1st of each month (or next business day) from September to June.
Online registration forms must be completed and consent forms and PAD agreements received by Eramosa Learning Academy before a student can begin in the program. For students who are returning to program or beginning in September, if circumstances change and they will not be attending, notice is required by July 15th otherwise the fee for September may be charged or the deposit forfeited. Tax receipts will be issued by the last working day of January, for the previous year. There will be a $20 charge for duplicate receipts.
Full fees are required regardless of days missed due to vacation, illness, inclement weather, school and/or statutory holidays. For part-time students, this means for the days they are registered for.

Non-Sufficient Funds

Should a payment be returned due to non-sufficient funds, Eramosa Learning Academy reserves the right to try one more time to debit the payor’s account. Eramosa Learning Academy will do our best to contact the payor before the second debit attempt. There will be a $20.00 charge to the payor for each NSF occurrence. In the case of an outstanding balance, if, within two weeks, there has been no attempt on the payor’s part to reply to phone calls or emails from Eramosa Learning Academy, care will be terminated for non-payment of fees. If payment is not made in full or a payment plan is not agreed upon, Eramosa Learning Academy will utilize a collection agency within two months. If a parent recalls a payment for any reason other than those specified on the PAD agreement, they will be responsible for the charge incurred which is $35.00.

Waiting List Policy

We do maintain waiting lists for our programs and if space is available, priority is given to current part-time students requesting full-time spaces and then to sibling(s) of our current students on a first-come, first-served basis.
In order to receive priority, current parents must notify Eramosa Learning Academy of any siblings who will begin attending Junior Kindergarten by January 30th of the year that they will attend. If Eramosa Learning Academy is not notified by January 30th, siblings will be placed on the general waiting list based on their initial inquiry date.
Any other available spaces will be offered to those families on our waiting lists depending on their initial inquiry date, the age of the student and their schedule requirements.
Families can only join the waiting list 1 year ahead of when they require care and inquiries must be through email. Offers of available spaces will be made by email.
Acceptance of an offered space must be made within 24 hours of the offer otherwise the space will be offered to the next family on the waiting list. If an offer has been made on two (2) occasions and has not been accepted then the family will be removed from the waiting list or, on specific request from the family, returned to the waiting list, but at the bottom.
Families can call or email at any time to request their position on the waiting list but are required to contact Eramosa Learning Academy by email (nanette@gs-care.com) every six months to determine their position and to provide any updates to their information. In both instances, families will receive an email providing their current position on the waiting list. If families do not contact Eramosa Learning Academy every six months, they will be removed from the waiting list. Eramosa Learning Academy does not charge any fees/deposit to place a student onto any of our waiting lists.
