Home / Admissions

Joining the Park Lane family.

We welcome children aged 30 months – school age for half or full days. Spaces are limited — here's everything you need to know about enrolling.

Four simple steps

How enrolment works.

Our process is designed to feel personal, not transactional. We want to meet you, meet your child, and make sure Park Lane is the right home.

Get in touch

Send us a message or call. We'll answer your questions and walk through availability, ages, and schedules.

Visit & tour

Come see the space. Meet our teachers. Watch a morning circle. Bring your child if you'd like — we love meeting them.

Apply

Submit your enrolment form and deposit. We'll confirm your spot and send onboarding details for your family.

Welcome!

We'll schedule a gentle onboarding — a short visit, a welcome note, and a first-day plan that helps everyone feel ready.

Schedules

Choose the schedule that fits your family. Select full or half days, for 2–5 days per week. We know family life is busy and we schedule around you — not the other way around.

Common questions

Frequently asked.

What ages do you accept?

Park Lane welcomes children aged 30 months to school age. We create mixed-age groupings that encourage mentorship between younger and older learners.

Does my child need to be toilet-trained?

We ask that children are working on toilet training before they start. Accidents happen and we'll always support your child warmly, but independent toileting is part of the preschool readiness we look for.

What do children need to bring each day?

A backpack with indoor shoes, a complete change of clothes, a water bottle, and weather-appropriate outerwear (we go outside in all weathers — rain boots and waterproofs are essential). Full-day children also bring a packed lunch. Please also bring a snack.

How do you handle food allergies and dietary needs?

We take allergies and dietary restrictions extremely seriously — please let us know about any needs at enrolment and we'll work with you on a clear plan.

What is your educator-to-child ratio?

We operate within (and typically better than) British Columbia's Community Care and Assisted Living Act licensing standards. Our ratios are intentionally small so that every child is known, seen, and supported.

Do you participate in the BC Affordable Child Care Benefit?

Please contact us directly to discuss current programme registration and subsidy eligibility. We're happy to help you navigate the process.

Can we tour before applying?

Absolutely — we warmly encourage it. Visit the contact page or call 250-589-1910 to book a tour.
