Problems Registering: If you are unable to register for a program, or a program is not showing up in the dropdown menu, it is likely because the program is already full. Each program has a limited number of spaces available to abide by room capacity due to fire regulations, so we encourage you to add yourself to the waitlist for the program, and we will contact you if a space becomes available.

Snacks during programs: Your child can have a snack in some of our programs in the designated snack area, however OPCC strives to be a nut free facility. Therefore, if you choose to bring a snack for your child, it must be nut free. This includes honey nut cheerios, trail mix, granola bars, or any food item where the ingredient label states, “may contain nut, nut products or nut oils”. Please speak with the educators about this process and ensure that you clean up after snack time.

Illness: Please note that all procedures and policies are in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of yourself, your children and our staff.  If your child shows signs of illness, please keep them home. Should your child become ill during the program we ask that you take them home, so they can rest, recover and not spread illness to others.  Children who are vomiting or have diarrhea must wait 24 hours after symptoms have subsided before joining others.  Any signs or symptoms of Covid-19, please keep your child at home and refer to the Provincial School Screening to determine next steps. 

Administering Medication: OPCC will not administer any medication (prescription or non-prescription i.e.; Benadryl, Tylenol, etc.), except in the event a child requires emergency medication in response to an allergic or life-threatening condition. If your child has an epi-pen or rescue reliever inhaler, there are forms that must be completed before they can attend the Children’s program associated with our Parenting programs. Please contact OPCC's main office to complete the required forms. If there are any changes in a child's medical condition, it is the parent's responsibility to inform OPCC. OPCC, at the discretion of the Executive Director, may refuse to undertake responsibility for administering medications or procedures, which staff does not have the expertise to administer.

The instructors of our Enrichment programs each have a specialized skillset or certification, which is used in the development in each program.
