Waitlist
General Waitlist (Current Kindergarten – Grade 5)
To be considered for registration in any of our before and after-school care programs, your child must first be registered for our waitlist.
- To register for our waitlist, please click here, download, and complete the waitlist form and submit it by email to info@jerichokidsclub.com.
- You do not need to submit duplicate forms added to the waitlist for multiple programs.
- The availability of new spaces each year depends on the attrition of the previous year’s members and spaces available within an age group. We are unable to offer new spaces until after current members have submitted their registration for the new school year.
Grade 5 Waitlist Limitation
Children entering their Grade 5 year who have not been offered placement prior to the start of the school year will be removed from waitlist consideration.
Incoming Kindergarten Waitlist (Children Entering Kindergarten)
Waitlist for children entering Kindergarten in the upcoming school year opens on November 1st or the first business day after the 1st, in the preceding year.
Kindergarten September 2027
- Starting in for September 2027 intake, placement after priority placements noted below will be completed via lottery and not according to the date the waitlist form is received.
- Waitlist applications for the lottery will be open November 2nd, 2026 at 7:00 a.m. and close on April 30th, 2027.
- Families who are on the waitlist must provide confirmation of enrollment into their specific school.
- All families who have not received acceptance by April 30th will not be a part of the lottery.
Offers of Space
Following the current member re-registration period, and throughout the year, assessments are made to determine if any additional space is available. Waitlisted families may be offered spaces depending on the child’s age, school and/or the requirements of the Client Service Agreement. Waitlist registration is also prioritized according to the date the waitlist form is received and the above policies. When space is offered, the family will be given 2 business days to respond. If the family fails to respond or if the offer is declined, the space will be offered to the next appropriate family. Families who choose not to accept an offer of space may request to defer their application for one additional year. If the enrolment offer is accepted, the family will have one week to complete registration documents and pay all applicable fees.
Please note: It is impossible for us to predict when spaces may become available. We are governed by a Child Care Facilities License capacity at each location and individual capacity in each program space. When programs are at capacity, space only becomes available when a child is withdrawn from the program. Due to the complexity of the criteria it may not be possible to give individuals a specific determination of their position on the waitlist. Waitlist positions may fluctuate based on priority factors, the age of the child, and the individual program availability.
Priority is given to:
- Returning children currently attending the program (up until Grade 5).
- Siblings of children currently enrolled in the center.
- Children with higher support needs who have confirmed additional funding for inclusion (through Aboriginal funding or Vancouver Supported Child Development), contingent upon staff availability, program capacity, and the Centre’s ability to meet the needs of both the child and the existing enrolled group.
- Children entering Kindergarten.
- Children who attend Bayview Community Elementary, General Gordon Elementary, and Southlands Elementary schools.
Registration priority is according to the above policies, with current families having the first option during early member sign up each year. If families do not return registration packages during the member sign-up period it will be assumed that they do not require care for the following school year.
