Service
Families may book up to 40 hours of childcare per month, anytime.
Flexible access to flexible care – for as little as $10/mo.!
Buddings members have access to our online booking calendar and convenient web portal to purchase and book licensed educational childcare with as little as one hour’s notice. The $10/monthly membership fee covers swipe cards for the doors, web account maintenance and upkeep, photo collections, tax receipts, and everything you need to access our centre and service. Your membership is per family, and hours can be purchased independently for up to 4 children per family.
Occasional Membership – $10/mo. and $20/hour – buy hours when you need them, and come in when you want. Perfect for families looking for back-up or emergency care, and easy to switch to a cheaper hourly level whenever you need.
Regular Membership – $60/mo. + $15/hour – includes FREE Integration Program and saves families money when they purchase 11 hours or more per month.
Regardless of type, owing membership fees are automatically deducted, in advance, on the 25th of the month from the credit card on file.
To switch your membership type, or to cancel completely, simply return the Switch/Exit Form to us by the 15th of your last month. Cancelation forms received after the 15th but before the 25th will be billed $30. Forms received after the 25th will be switch/canceled the following month.
Rolling hours to the next month.
For so long as you maintain your membership with us, we will make sure you can use the hours you’ve purchased. If you have left-over hours at the end of the month, we will move forward for you, minus an administrative cost of two hours. They will be available for booking on the 1st of the new month.
Refunds may be issued for months that have not yet begun
Available spots are released in waves, so there’s always a second chance to book the time you need.
At the start of the season, 80% of the spots for each day are released for booking, and if you’re super organized, and make your payments beforehand, you can book your time up to three months in advance. But not everyone has their lives planned out that far, and emergencies happen.
The final 20% of spots for each day become available at midnight, 2 days before, but teachers can access those spots anytime. So if you really need that Thursday afternoon spot next week, and it’s already full, give us a call, or check back after midnight on Tuesday to book one of the extra spots.
Bookings can be made with as little as one hour’s notice, and reservations can be extended while in progress.
There is no penalty for cancelling or changing your reservation.
Early Drop-Offs.
Late Pick-Ups.
At the other end of the visit, you have 10 minutes there, too. Booked hours include the 10 minutes before and after the hour, and we always keep spaces to accommodate families who are running a little late. After 10 past, we will book you into the next hour. A staff membership will mention this to you when you arrive, and you will be asked to sign your acknowledgment.
